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!

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. From me and my husband ❤

"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. I have no desire to make work the meaning of my existence and your happiness. Money I need. That's why I want to work for you. Not for fame or glory, but for money. Because of the salary. Thank you."😁

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!

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.

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!

[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!

[Lobstrique]

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

[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 ❤

[jamie]

Great content. I am binging on it. Thank you for making it. Really helpful

[jcbookworm]

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.

[kevinleon]

Erin, thank you so much. M response rate for interview requests has SOARED watching your videos.

[arianaayala]

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?😅

[mikewilliams]

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