Remove These 7 Things from Your Resume ASAP!

[@BrigetteHyacinth]

Remember, your resume is ultimately your ‘passport’ to your next dream job. Take your time with it, make sure it’s professional and it gives the best view of who you are and what you bring to the table. You've got this! I wish you every success! 😊

[@kimfenske]

Thank you for the encouragement. Brigette!

[@aminatadams7207]

Thank you so much for your videos. It's been over 2 weeks I started watching them and I just landed a job. Keep up the good work.

[@joephenom3098]

Amen

[@titusarannilewa7429]

Thank you. Learning new things everyday!

[@kumailn7662]

Words are less to thank you! @Brigette Hyacinth.

[@grafixnut]

I've been asked to provide a complete professional history on my resume, to prove over 25 years of experience in order to be considered a Senior level candidate. I recommend that people keep a complete resume updated along with a short version.

[@elisabethdarcia232]

With God all is possible... AMEN AMEN AMEN

[@amarwadnere525]

I had the opposite experience regarding resume length... For a very long time I had a single page resume, and never received too many interview calls. Soon after I made a lengthy and detailed resume, I started to get many interview calls, and I cleared one. Same experience my wife too had... her 10 page CV helped her clear 4 interviews, thus had 4 offers to choose from.

[@DEUSNIBYOt]

I am detailing my CV now. i need more than two pages.

[@amarwadnere525]

@@DEUSNIBYOt sure, that would be great!

[@valeriejones3808]

If you're applying for a job that requires a CV however many only need a resume.

[@Mikedole2914]

I was recommended to your channel by a friend. I have been struggling when applying for jobs and take far too long crafting a resume as I over think things. My biggest challenge is tailoring my resume to the job description. Sometimes I take a who day to craft a resume. Thanks for your tips, I am guilty of writing too much and obsessed in getting every bullet point grammatically correct.

[@MOREDRAMAInc]

AMEN! Thank you, Brigette! I'm taking the time to re-brand myself as suitable to be a supervisor/manager. I've spent far too many years feeling underpaid at jobs that were easy for me to achieve. I'm taking a stand to strive for better and challenge my capabilities. I'm pretty excited!

[@byeteaching]

I love that you're addressing the mistakes teachers often make when transitioning to different careers. It's essential to approach the job search with a fresh mindset and avoid falling into these traps. Thank you for the helpful advice!

[@andreageling8920]

Indeed, with God all things are possible! Thanks for sharing this!

[@monakatims3831]

Amen and great advice. I wish I knew this after I graduated college over 20 years ago😂

[@rainpete5806]

I understand your point about headshots but the UNFORTUNATE thing is that with the prevalent use of LinkedIn, we are exposed to the same bias you mentioned about headshots. No one seems to talk about this!! LinkedIn is being promoted as a great resource and it is recommended that one includes a photo. The photo is how some potential employers or recruiters judge you before even reading about what you have to offer.

[@mathewmontai1740]

Thanks Brigette - After watching this I realized that my resume needs a lot of work.

[@jonathansturm4163]

Well-done Ms Hyacinth! A résumé is a _sales brochure_ created solely for the purpose of obtaining an interview. When I was tasked with running job clubs for the unemployed I used a sample résumé created by the successful applicant for the job of co-ordinating the election campaign for a US senator. It was one side of an American Letter page, so slightly shorter than A4! The résumé listed the achievements of the applicant in such things as planning, co-ordination, budgeting etc, quantified wherever possible. One's immediate reaction to the document was a strong desire to meet her. Nowhere was it mentioned that her formidable skills were acquired by being a highly successful housewife! Having had to assess job applications while managing a business, one is looking for ways to _reject_ applications! You want to reduce the applications to the 3 or 4 most likely hires as quickly as possible. Fortunately most applicants' résumés make this easy, although tedious when there are more than a hundred to scrutinise! Successful résumés make the employer's task easier.

[@Sistamimose5685]

Amen! With God everything is possible!

[@nanaachiaa1843Favored]

With God, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE! AMEN & AMEN!😇 subscribed!

[@JinMori313]

Amen! Been a Recruiter for 6 years now and still I learn new things from this content realizing that I have several mistakes with how my resume is being presented specially highlighting accomplishment instead of task/responsibilities.

[@Andrew-rc3vh]

You aught to improve your grammar as well.

[@raygordonteacheschess5501]

There is no wrong way to do a resume.

[@jadelynelle218]

I honestly don't have a choice. I think tasks and responsibilities highlight your competencies and skills you're able to do when you don't exactly have quantified "accomplishments". Not every job out there is even applicable to that. That's like corporate and office work.

[@samuelrajkumar4975]

"With God all things are possible." I liked that ending... Amen...

[@minhuachua574]

Certainly opened my eyes on the pointers you just mentioned! All are found in my resume, it makes my current one like an amateur's write up. Fixing it asap - thank you very much for the pointers!

[@riamodigitemplates]

Extremely helpful. These tips are so specific, they can be implemented immediately.

[@arinetwork4886]

You are the best I have seen so far. I was just severance due to outsourcing overseas. Well, the people the customers complained about now have all the work. I wish the company the best. They will need it.

[@Jane-et3cn]

is the "avoiding of overuse theme for me", something to correct by me.thank you Brigette. I would appreciate you make videos as regards to applying for entry level jobs especially for fresh graduates, how to go about the interviews,how to make up your CV for specifically that and so on...

[@bobronny]

Wow my CV was full of mistake until I watched this thanks and Amen 🙏

[@tjdamian2936]

Wow... Just wow. I just feel for the first time after watching many resume videos, I finally got the most convincing one. Many thanks

[@sheralot]

[@nkanmuoverachioma]

I got many values . I must say this the best resume guide I have seem so far. Very detailed with practical examples. Thank you for sharing this 🙏

[@JoeBooks]

This is really helpful. I’ve already identified areas where I’m making the highlighted mistakes.

[@jessicasingleton5712]

Amen! Thank you for these amazing tips! I have a long career history and really struggled with getting that 2-3 pages -these tips will for sure get that for me! It is has been a long time for me, having to be on the job search and there have been many changes over the years. Thank you again!❤️

[@kalamelic]

Dont go to church but I’d say AMEN to that. Amazing advice 😊👏

[@quenniezerna7363]

[@promisesteve3676]

[@sortordaniel2634]

The ending of your presentation has made me to like you one million plus percent. Well done Madam !!. I highly appreciate it.

[@michealtrujillo4677]

Such great pointers that you would think most folks would know as common standards. This is where her content fills in the blanks for the people whom it doesn't come naturally. Thank you @Brigette

[@michelleannpatterson]

Thank you for sharing and yes, you can get an Amen 🙏🏾.

[@MrHoezey7S]

Extremely helpful! just finished a bootcamp and setup everything except my resume! will use these points to make sure I try my best to score a job! thank you!

[@ximenaburton2894]

Amen! this is exactly what I needed. I am in the process of redoing my resume. thank you for the valuable information on this video.

[@kelvikelv5322]

Excellent brief @BrigetteHyacinth ! This was the most informative résumé brief I've seen! Using examples of what to change to was the perfect educational tool. And because of your closing: *"With God, all things are possible."* I subscribed!

[@denisapetraskova4898]

One of the best and most helpful videos I’ve seen so far! Thank you

[@NovaDoll]

I work at help desk. So I don't have really any "actions" I help better. the only one I can really use is resolved.

[@warcraftaddict117]

THANK YOU! LOVE THAT YOU CALL OUT THAT PRONOUNS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH WOOOOORRRRK EXPERIENCE! I feel SO sorry for those of you who have to read resumes that may focus on that aspect.

[@lucnorth8446]

AMEN 👏👏👏 The question is, why is HR/ hiring managers so poor at reading between the lines and analyzing what people have written about their work history? (If an adult interviewed a child, the adult would be expected to read between the lines to understand the child. The gap between an adult understanding another adult in a similar industry of work should NOT be as big as an adult understanding a child....) It's as if the people hiring are incapable of critically analyzing someone's work (aka reading comprehension), given a few sentences (aka resume), when it's their JOB to analyze people's work at a company ALL THE TIME. 👀 Sounds a lot like incompetent people not understanding competent people looking for work...

[@peggyjofarr4577]

Thank you for these tips, Bridgette! You helped me change my resume for the better! I am hoping for a career change for a better more fulfilling life. Again, thank you!

Thanks Brigette Hyacinth for this Practical tips for preparing better resume

[@agorgedslug]

Hi Bridgette, my first time seeing your content. I do employability support in the disability sector in Scotland. I've been teaching exactly everything you've advised on this video with significant pushback from 'industry professionals '. With one minor exception, which may be a cultural difference, about making sure the personal statement is first person, although I do utterly agree with removing it for the rest. Otherwise you hit every single point exactly! Thanks for the reassurance 😀

[@kimberlycordeiro7523]

AMEN! :) Thank you Brigette, I'm going to modify my resume now while these tips are fresh in my mind.

[@olamideoladunni6757]

@Brigette Hyacinth thanks for sharing this profitable information and AMEN AMEN to your prayer.

[@kofiasare2559]

The best I've heard so far on this topic. Thanks, Brigette, and a big Amen

[@akashaj8610]

This is overwhelming for someone who hasn't had to go on the job search for years at a time. Sounds like a bunch of hoops to jump through for companies that don't care about you. I do all that and get the job, but I don't get paid the same amount for the same job, I don't get vacation or sick days and if I die tomorrow, they'll just replace me and move on. What's the hoops these companies have to jump through for me? And the ATS thing is terrible. What does the format of my resume have to do with whether or not I can do the work? Getting knocked out of the running over silly stuff like the amount of pages my resume has is so wrong it outta be criminal. We're told not to use pictures because it could open us up to discrimination/bias, but who's purging the working world of those who have the bias? These ridiculous systems and practices need to be removed and replaced with something more thoughtful.

[@himanshu5948]

After seeing this video, I can only say 2 things. Wow and Thank You

[@xyzmsbright]

Hello Brigette! Thank you for these very helpful tips. I am editing my resume while listening to you 😊

[@Nwakaego_]

AMEN! I came here from your LinkedIn post and enjoyed this video, so I happily subscribed. Thanks, Brigette!

[@Sirden_i]

I have never been called for interviews despite numerous job applications. But with this content, I hope to be called

[@dansherman4182]

Thanks. I shall rewrite my resume! And website copy. Amen

[@stefanogrevi9715]

Well, if the care a recruiter has for selecting the right people for the right job is limited to 6 seconds, then the company he is working for is not proposing a dream job. If you are already treated like a number in the selection process, you'll be just a number after. Don't waste time with those companies and go on.

[@erikaruv22]

I've applied to over 50 jobs and can't even land an interview. Going to change it up and try these tips. Thank you

[@ZachBlackforest]

... Just started this video, and legit the first thing you brought up I had already done, not out of some knowledge but shear laziness just wanting to make a "Good enough" resume...

[@AaronCMounts]

that signoff at the end was excellent.

[@TheSideEyeSage7]

These are great tips. The only caveat I'd have for removing experience is unless it's for the U.S. civil service. All of your relevant experience has a direct affect on your ability to get the job and whether you can negotiate your salary.

[@dmajor7495]

Amen! Thanks, Brigette great tips!

[@MrsDanielle96]

Amen! Very informative and will help me with my resume. Thank you!😊

[@jamesbradley4548]

Awesome, Ms. Hyacinth! Even at my age and 28 years as contractor PM, I am still LEARNING! Thank you!

[@blueturquoisett8448]

The ATS information was eye opening. Thanks for that.

[@jackieadams673]

Thank you for this video. I feel better prepared to rewrite my resume.

[@steve_weinrich]

In a market where there are many applicants for a few positions, a company can afford to apply a series of filtering rules. Conversely, in the current market, where there are few applicants, a company must reevaluate which is more important: Someone who can do the job or someone who can make it through the filtering process. It is very important to remember that the larger the company, the slower it moves.

[@rogerdeutsch5883]

"Remember to highlight accomplishments instead of listing duties." Great one!

Appreciate this. Watching your video, I see I have some updates to make to my resume. Thanks Brigette ♡

[@mrarun1889]

Amen 🙏🏼 This was very helpful. May God bless you ✝️

[@deltastarlight5111]

I get the idea to highlight accomplishments vs. duties. But they list what will be expected in the role, so on one side I have to list what my experience is using the SAME words as in the job add, while not listing experience but focusing on accomplishments. Sounds like two opposing things to me.

[@VeeDaniels11]

RIGHT! LOLOLOL!!!🤣Makes sense! 🤷‍♀However, here's my thought, using Brigette's campaign example: if you notice on the job description, “Responsible for marketing campaigns” - as opposed to listing your duty to match the job description, here's where you HIGHLIGHT your accomplishment: "Developed award-winning marketing campaigns that contributed to 20% increase in revenue." INSTEAD of matching the job description's bulleted energy on your resume, you have now SHOWCASED that you have experience with marketing campaigns AND what happened WHEN you did it! TRUST ME... I had to write this out to ensure that it made sense to me too! LOLOL!! 🤣 Hope this helps! 🙌

[@portiakeswa600]

Amen and Amen. This is highly informative. Thank you so much Brigette.

As a hiring manager I can tell you this guide should be only for people without too much experience. I'm someone who spend 20 years in IT, and grow many times in career. You absolutely cannot fit my CV in two pages avoid long text 😂 Even if you do my CV will became absolutely irrelevant.
