Richard you are a living legend! Your subscribers have no valid excuse to fail in the interview...

[e-genieclimatique]

for english beginner, in brief:
In this video tutorial, the speaker shares the top 11 mistakes people make on their resumes or CVs, which can prevent them from getting hired. The speaker also provides tips on writing a perfect cover letter and where to download ready-made templates.

The top 11 resume mistakes to avoid are:

1-Spelling and grammar errors - proofread your resume or use an online service like Grammarly.

2-Being dishonest - don't exaggerate or lie on your resume.

3-Excessive capital letters - use them only for headings and subheadings.

4-Using a creative font - use a professional and easy-to-read font like Arial.

5-Making your resume unnecessarily long - limit it to 2-3 pages.

6-Not including direct contact details - include your cell phone number at the top of your resume and the bottom of your cover letter.

7-Gaps in your employment - provide a brief explanation for any gaps in your work history.

8-One resume for all job applications - tailor your resume for each job application.

9-Highlighting duties instead of accomplishments - focus on your achievements in previous roles.

10-Writing a boring personal statement - make it engaging and use powerful words and phrases.

11-Not using action verbs - use powerful action verbs to describe your accomplishments.

The speaker then discusses the importance of a cover letter and provides an example of a strong cover letter.

For the verb topic, the tense has to be precise on all verbs. A mismatch on the tense is very bad indeed!

[hewakalu]

Always so good Sir! Can you please make a video how to write a motivation letter professionally ?🙏

[TheSami]

Richard, I have a question. How can I tailor my cv for different positions if I have experience in Procurement. And now I want to Apply for Wearhouse Assistant?

[amineunshakable]

[abcxyz]

nice tips ..though i really doubt if you been a crime reporter

[pillowzzzbox]

Richard, I have a question can you do a video on making a big mistake in saying no to a job and regretting it? I messed up badly and said no to the job just because of the salary rate they gave me but then they came back to offer 17.50 an hr and then after 90 days to give me 18.50 an hr and bonuses will be given every year. I liked the boss but the environment I could not get a feel for it. I called them back to see if it’s too late since I changed my mind. Will some boss ever take you back when you changed your mind or it’s a no period?
