The Best Resume Layout

[@FlorenceHaddad]

The templates you suggested look clean and professional. I might check out other options like Resubot for quick formatting.

[@bradendeans]

I bought this template and no kidding, literally the first resume I sent out landed me an interview. Highly recommend!

[@greglangstaffcareercoach]

That's great to hear!! Congrats!

[@bradendeans]

@@greglangstaffcareercoach I landed the job. Thank you!

[@JERMAINESousa]

This video has some solid tips for creating an effective resume layout. I appreciate the focus on ATS-friendly designs.

[@gc7214]

This is one of the best videos I've seen for resume layouts. Great examples, simple, and very actionable. Much appreciated!

[@greglangstaffcareercoach]

Wow, that's so nice of you to say, thank you!

[@gabriellowry4510]

thanks for the great inside look at building a professional resume. i've been in my profession for many many years but have never had to build a resume, i have always relied on my reputation. i purchased your template to expand my possibilities and reach out to people outside my circles. this is new to me so wish me luck... thank you.

[@gabriellowry4510]

I blasted this out without capitalizing anything. See i'm already paying attention, lol

[@greglangstaffcareercoach]

You got this! Good luck!

[@ZeynepMucella]

Great breakdown of what makes a resume stand out. I’ve been struggling with mine, so this really helps.

[@magicainlove]

Dear Greg, thank you very much for the video. A year has now passed since your video was uploaded. Has anything changed with the template or are you still using it? I'm thinking of buying one. Which one do you recommend at the end of 2024?

[@greglangstaffcareercoach]

I'm very much still using this template and it's one of my go-to's! My 2024 template (template 8 on my site) was the most popular of 2024! I am planning on releasing a few new templates in 2025 so stay tuned :)

[@magicainlove]

@@greglangstaffcareercoach thank you very much for the information. It is good to know.

[@sunnybhatti9567]

Thanks Greg. What you say, makes a lot of sense to me!

[@greglangstaffcareercoach]

Thanks so much Sunny!

[@julianboth7121]

Hey Greg, awesome video! What do you think about having the right length? A lot of people and also HR managers tell that 1 page should be enough. I know this also depends on the kind of job-level, but wanted to know you take on that

[@greglangstaffcareercoach]

2 pages is the sweet spot. I haven't heard the one-page advice from anyone who actually does hiring so I'm not sure how that myth has been circulating. Maybe at entry level, one page would be fine. Just remember, you have to keep them reading so as long as what you're including is interesting and impressive, they'll keep reading onto page 2.

[@millacentbystander2992]

Your video is excellent. Thank you for being concise and straight to it. I've watched I think 912 billion resume videos. Alright maybe it felt like that many. I'm thinking gosh I love when the video hasn't fuc$ all to do with resumes and rabbit Trail with it all summed up by telling you to ask chatgpt to do it. So thank you for your video. Outstanding! I have a very particular discipline and I'm still idk just having a hard time figuring out what to include, what's relevant, how much do I include about skills relatable ..ect. If I where to go into detail it would be staggering. I am able to teach and instruct my profession to professionals Which is rough because I've turned down several Jobs recently, the places that ask I research and then decline. I'm in such a bizzare yet uniquely disciplined industry and the salary potential or in my case typically contract Is nearly uncapped. I just need to get my ass doing what I know inside and out. Prior to this I have always sought out smaller companies but now the market is changing in this industry on a monolithic scale and I just can't sit on my hands anymore. Anyway thank you for your video.

[@alvin-k2m4f]

In this video, I share what I've learned about creating a standout resume. I've found that a clear title, summary, and a focus on key skills and achievements make a big difference. Prioritizing job titles, company names, and locations, while omitting dates to avoid age bias, is key. Adding sections for technical skills, awards, and volunteer work also helps. Tools like Jobsolv have been a game-changer for tailoring my resume to specific roles, greatly boosting my chances of landing the job I want.

[@Thepaintingwick]

But why would they care about location of the job? And what if the company moved half way through your tenure? Would you add both locations?

[@YeeSwisher]

Thanks for sharing these tips. It's nice to see practical advice on resume layouts that actually work.

[@sillyboyoh]

this is great for someone far into their career, but can you do one for people very early in their career? And one that has more common jobs/ skills like warehouse,sales etc

[@goldeternal]

so this is good for marketing?

[@garriman0369]

Have you ever done a video like this, that breaks down 21 years of military service? If so, where and if not, could you? Thanks.

[@greglangstaffcareercoach]

I haven't done something like that on video but that is a service I've provided for a few clients. Let me put that on my to-do list, thanks!'

[@MaHyunSeok]

I love this video

[@simplicityscott1]

@greglangstaffcareercoach thanks a bunch for this insight! I got this template today and am looking forward to getting it completed. My question is - I'm in the tech industry and attended some college but did not complete my degree...instead, I got technology certifications which landed me my first great job over 20 years ago. What do you feel is best for me to do with the "Education" section? Would it be bad to ditch it and list my certifications instead?...or should I attempt to complete it knowing that will transparently show that I did not complete my degree? Much appreciated in advance!!

[@greglangstaffcareercoach]

Thanks watching! I think just listing the relevant certifications from the industry is a great move.

[@simplicityscott1]

@@greglangstaffcareercoach Much thanks sir!

[@GraysonMMO]

Do you not add references anymore?

[@inline4smilez]

Guess not they aren’t going to call anyways Lmao too much work

[@NoHarmDunn]

No, not anymore that's old school. If your future employer needs a reference they will state it or let you know.

[@PMB895]

People are saying tables break some ATS scans. Is that true?

[@greglangstaffcareercoach]

This is not true. A table will influence the order in which the content is read and that can mess with the scanner's comprehension of your information if you're relying on it to read the table in a certain order. That's why I only use them for simple lists of skills like this that will make sense in any order :)

[@kingzoroxd8665]

Is it possible to get it on google docs? And not word?

[@greglangstaffcareercoach]

Yes, I now have them all available on Google Docs. When you get the template, it now comes with both :)

[@martakenny6721]

Downaloded the Resume but it doesn't have the Professional Summary you mention in the video.

[@greglangstaffcareercoach]

Sorry about that. I typically go with the career highlights section instead. You can just rename the Career Highlights section "Professional Summary" and you should be all sorted out :)

[@staycurious0815]

I wonder why you always mention successes in numbers on your CV? It is clear to the recruiter that the applicant made something up. And you can't document or demonstrate success in every job.

[@greglangstaffcareercoach]

Are you saying that everyone lies in their resume? Most people don't. And if you're doing it, I'd recommend ceasing that.

[@mahonghao9971]

i THINK THE LAST ONE IS THE WORIST ONE. IT LOOKS LIKE COMPUTER CODE . WHAT IF SOMEONE HAS TRYPOPHBIA

[@karlacorro-hu1jg]

Just created the resume wish me luck :)

[@greglangstaffcareercoach]

Good luck! You got this!

[@alexmason3190]

??

[@sharifnoor9956]

How can we get this template?

[@fashiongal4595]

Watch the video and read the description. It is very clear where to get the template.

[@Jazket]

Absolute facts on always asking ChatGPT nicely 😂😂😂😂

[@alexmason3190]

No

[@chiquinholoco]

It is funny how depending on the youtuber, they will say conflincting instructions: start or not with professional experience, start or not with education, start or not with this and that. You all can't agree with a stantard format. So it is all BS.

[@daboydudus3912]

exactly either one is right and the rest is wrong or everything is bullshit and recruiters are human with emotions and will read whatever they want to read...

[@STEPHANIEENAJE]

I almost paid $300 for a disgusting looking resume that didn’t feel or sound like ME at all. This here is GOLD! 🫡
