THANK YOU for your AMAZING ADVICE!!! After applying your advice to my resume, I finally landed and interview my dream job and I'm getting an offer!!! I even got an interview at one of my top companies within an hour of applying, despite being rejected 4 times before. The only thing that changed was my resume. YOU ARE FANTASTIC!!!

She’s absolutely right—you don’t need to worry about ATS systems. As a recruiter, I can confirm that we don’t rely on the ATS rating feature.

17:42 Dinner reservations analogy: make your resume the exact spectacular dish the hiring manager/recruiter asked for. The JD is the menu. Sell the sizzle rather than the plate and silverware.

Find the job you want, then write the resume around it.

Coming back to this video to say: thank you so much! This video really helped me rework my resume, and had an immediate noticeable impact on how many recruiters would reach out after I applied for jobs

The whole video is great. But the best piece of "insider" tip ever was at 13:20 - 13:46: Workday can't parse tables and columns!? There goes my nice Latex-built clean but two-columned CV...

I love Farah, she is the only one on YouTube that is POSITIVE! all these other people talking about why it’s so hard to get a job. Farah is providing great advice on how to actually land a job. 🙏👏

A tech tip for 13:03: If you save as PDF without Acrobat Pro, your hyperlinks will vanish. Even if you have Pro, remember to save as PDF via the Acrobat Ribbon in Word. "Print as PDF" will also remove your hyperlinks.

I realized there are a lot of Good candidates but all they're missing are the right words on their resumes i think thats part of the reason why job searching is frustrating.

[rogerbruce]

I wish I found your videos sooner. I had my resume professionally refreshed in the last year, there is so much I am learning from your videos. Wish I could afford you right now to help polish my resume.

Great resume advice. I interviewed two people recently who put percentages showing improvement on their resumes without the listing the metric. When I asked what metric they used, they could not back it up. One said it was their perception of improvement.

[hectorroldan]

I don’t usually comment on, however, I love how well put together this is and how you were able to break down all of the most important elements of a résumé in one sitting. One of the most thorough and in-depth guides on YouTube with concrete examples and a demonstration of expertise. Keep up the great work!

the last part with the restaurant menu analogy is amazing advice. I have just realized how much my resume has been lacking even though i have been working in my field for 12 years now. Now i am wondering how my resume ever got shortlisted for all the jobs i have had. i guess i was lucky enough. Thanks for all the awesome advice. I am updating my resume now :)

[homeroramirez]

I just found your channel, and I just want to let you know that it opened my eyes in the most educational and reassuring way it could be. Thank you very much!!! AMAZING CONTENT!!!

My problem is step 1 - identifying who I want to work for. I have worked for so many companies, from startups to Microsoft, and I no longer have faith in or respect for any company. There is toxicity, disfunction, and/or a focus on greed everywhere. I have been laid off more often than I have voluntarily left positions, which is yet another reason not to want to dedicate myself to any company. Non-profit orgs like the Red Cross don't have the need and/or money for my tech skills, so that's not a viable option either.

Thank you for giving us the recruiter perspective of the hiring process

[natalieeuley]

So a few things here
1. How much should we have to change job titles to fit the role? If I am applying to, say, a job as a technical trainer, but my job titles are all software engineer, how do I avoid being rejected for not having relevant titles?
2. Job descriptions are full of fluffy things like communication skills and job responsibilities. How do we match the job description while having powerful language in our resumes when the job description itself doesn't use powerful language?
3. How do you balance having numbers/keywords and describing what your job actually is? It seems like there has to be a lot of extrapolation from bullets of numbers and keywords to figure out what the job really is, and if I were reading hundreds of resumes a day, I would probably throw in the trash any that I couldn't figure out what the job was.

This video is all you need to know when it comes to building resumes.
Thank you for making such an informative video. 🙏❤️

Even though I believe in the strength of my CV (I mean, I am an experienced Software Engineer with 11 years of experience, and I've worked at well-known companies in several countries), after watching the video, I realized that my CV lacks many things. Thank you very much; I'm now updating it! :)
