Thank you Erin, now I know where to fix my resume. ❤ Your work.

[@dcw127]

Believe it or not I've had more interviews using a 1 page CV with a professional summary. It's short, sweet and definitely concise. I know during interviews that some employers have wondered "What's this guy's deal?" or "Do they know what they're doing here?". The professional summary, for me, is the punch. It's the answer, shows my intentions without giving it all away. Love it!

[@divyadeepa1060]

Can you please help me with the summary please

[@ancienttempleofma]

As someone who's worked with hr and resume services NO ONE will look at anything more than 1 pg

You are the real deal🤝. My husband got a new job after watching your video. He rewrote his resume. He been fighting with his resume for the last 7 months. He rewrote his resume last week, Monday was his interview and today he got the job offer... You have been the only help i seen that takes thier time explaining how things work. Thank you so much.

I love this ! Congrats to your hubby : ) I am in that same process right now after 34 yrs management & my hotel closed. I want to try a new position that I'm qualified for but hitting a wall with how to summarize a change in positon. uggghh so frustrating

[@SassyChiC25]

@@lablvr6000 Take your time and take notes while watching this video, I promise it helps a lot!

[@jcbookworm900]

Thank you for this advice and the useful tips and examples! I had applied to jobs with my resume before, but hardly got any responses back. I watched this video and applied it to my resume - updating it with each new application, as suggested. I did all of this yesterday. Today, I received two calls asking to set up an interview with me this week! I am so overly excited and grateful for this advice. And it was fun to change it up with each new application, to see what I could add that fit the job description. I’ll try to come back here after the interviews/when I find out more.

[@jcbookworm900]

Update 1: I had my first interview with the first company today. It overall went really well, seems to match what I’m looking for in my next job, and even the interviewer said he would highly recommend me to the controller who’s going the hiring. (It’s for an accountant position, which I’ve been dreaming of getting into for years.)

[@kvcharles4425]

​@@jcbookworm900 I sincerely hope you were hired for the position. I'm intrigued

[@jcbookworm900]

@@kvcharles4425 Sadly the company ghosted me. I did a weekly follow up for the first 3 weeks, and repeatedly got told that “something else came up, and they haven’t had a chance to call for the second interview”. It’s been a month since the last time I called, and I never heard anything else. But I’m still looking!

[@noirbeautyambassador]

Erin this was so thoughtful of you. I love what you said, and about bridging the game. It have been tough for me for years to create my own resume because I felt all of my fiends can create resumes for me when at times they don't know everything that I have done leaving me unsatisfied with the results, yet appreciative. I wanted to really tell employers what I can offer from my passionate expressive self. Nevertheless, I am still working on my resume and will let you know the outcome from your videos. No one has had ever too the time to show me, nor have I ever asked. They just do it for me.

[@kateiakovleva5902]

There is so much content in the web with suggestions to exclude the summary from the CV. But your video changed my mind about it. Now I definitely will update my summary using your tipps. Thank you, Erin!

[@AdviceWithErin]

Yeah, that's probably because a poorly written one can hurt your CV/resume. But if you do it correctly, it's very effective!

[@Astral_Dusk]

1:02 solid point about "too jargony" - too often the perception of sounding professional includes too much jargon - a problem for resumes and interview communication.

[@natachawynant6895]

I confirm as a French-speaker that you used "la crème de la crème" correctly ;-) Thanks for your vidéo!

[@FernandaHaiabe]

Thank you! Your content is very straightforward and helpful! I'm adjusting my resume as I watch and I hope I can get some good results from it!

Eat the job description and regurgitate! I love it! Thanks for your videos, they have been so helpful ♥

[@byeteaching]

Updating your resume for a career transition can be a daunting task, but it's worth the effort! Remember to highlight transferable skills and showcase your passion for learning and adaptability. Best of luck on your new career journey!

[@nanapoku5259]

That's very true about career transition/change. It's something I have been struggling with. I like your point about showing your passion for learning and adaptability.

[@lablvr6000]

should I highlight my skills & passion for learning in the summary or in a different part of the resume?

[@Lobstrique]

thank you so much, Erin!! i'm more used to KZbin and it's a huge pleasure to see you here, too :)

[@arianaayala5349]

I just found you on TikTok and I’m loving your content! ❤ My main struggle right now is putting together my “About Me”. I am currently in Law Enforcement wanting to get a medical/dental receptionist job. I have no medical or dental experience whatsoever. I will be going back to school this fall for a career in the medical field. So having no degree or direct experience is throwing me off on how to write my “About Me”. If you could give me advice on this that would be amazing and greatly appreciated ❤️ If not, is there a way I can pay to have you review my resume?😅

[@bribribrishti]

Hi Erin! I want to say thank you for this video. I really appreciate corporate advice given more cordially than usual. You make it sound like an older friend giving advice over coffee ❤

[@IsmailCassim-b9u]

Thanks for the great advice in the video. Never commented before on KZbin, but felt compelled to when you mentioned how job seeking can be difficult even for those with the experience and skills for the job, but just don't sell themselves well in the resume.

"Dear company, let's cut a bull***. I really want to pay my bills and rent on time, save for retirement, pay for my children's education and be able to afford food and clothes.

🎯 Key points for quick navigation: 00:15 *Professional summaries at the top of resumes significantly increase chances of getting into the "yes" pile when well-written* 00:43 *Common mistake: Using excessive industry jargon that wouldn't sound natural in conversation* 01:12 *Focus on demonstrating value to the company rather than stating you're seeking experience* 01:42 *Companies want to know how you'll bring value - it's a business exchange, not a charitable relationship* 02:08 *Use industry-appropriate action verbs: caring for nanny roles, detail-oriented for copywriting, collaborative for filmmaking* 02:37 *New graduates should use "[industry] professional" as their title, followed by relevant experience* 03:19 *Include "Specialties include" section with relevant keywords from the job description* 03:48 *Example summary structure: "[Action verb] [job title] with [X] years of experience in [specific area]"* 04:17 *For career transitions, emphasize transferable skills and relevant experience from previous roles* 04:44 *Consider mentioning the company name in your summary to show targeted interest* 04:59 *Utilize AI tools like ChatGPT, Canva AI, and Copy.ai to help craft your professional summary* 05:27 *The goal is to help qualified candidates who may lack resume writing skills get fair consideration for roles* Made with HARPA AI

Hi Erin, I'm 50 and work in an allied health profession closely aligned with fitness. I strongly suspect that by claiming my 20+ years of experience I am dooming my resume to the "NO" pile. I'm aware that ageism is illegal ( in most professions) yet I believe that I have lost opportunities because of it. Any ideas for navigating this?

[@d3m3treeM]

whatever the job youre applying to asks for is what you should write. if you have 20 years exp but the job requirement is 4+ years then you say you have 4+ years or 5+ years.. dont age yourself if you can help it. take off any graduation dates and dont go back too far on job experience. difficult to do if youve worked at one company for 20 years but maybe you earned a promotion somewhere midway.. just list the dates of the time you held the promotion instead of all 20.

How many lines should it be? What text size should I use on Google Dox? Because size 11 with minimal format feels too big and doesn't give me space for my Pro Summary or my Educational Background. Also, why do u charge money for ur Resume Guide even tho u claim both in ur vids and description that you do NOT sell Career Coaching or Resume Writing Services? Also, this is the internet ALL INFORMATION should be FREE!! Just cuz others do it doesn't mean u have to as well.

[@kashafnoor6604]

Size 10-12 for text and 14-16 for headings is the standard
