Here’s the BIGGEST Mistake Found on Resumes!

Great information Jeff😊

Your videos are so helpful! Would you be interested in doing an in-depth video that goes deeper into using Teal?

It’s so silly that this is what they consider a “good resume” now (as far as the percentages). When in reality, it’s just a bunch of ppl lying on their resume with made up results & percentages 😂. They literally make it hard for the applicant and the employer bc I’m sure they’ve looked over some really good long lasting candidates going by these new “rules”. But nonetheless, I’ll be adding it in my resume too 😩. Thanks for the tips !!

I currently work for a small company that is a hot mess as far as organizing and job roles. I was hired under a specific role but now wear at least 3 different "hats" on a regular basis. I was beginning to think my skills weren't marketable since my experience is all over the place. It was so overwhelming for me to sit down and begin to do my resume, but finding your channel has been a God send for me. This video especially has given me so many wonderful ideas on how to market myself for a different job field and I'm finally beginning to feel confident. Thank you for every tool for success you've given us.

Thank you Jeff this was super useful

Teal is free?
Man this tool in unbelievable ! 🔥🔥

You’re the goat bro!!

👏👏👏

You're my hero Jeff

Hi Jeff, I wanted to let you know that I find your tips really helpful and I've subscribed to your channel.

FYI ✋
I also noticed that the link to Joanna's Resume in your video had her contact information blurred out, but it is clickable on the template. I just thought I'd give you a heads-up!

I trust him cuz he’s Asian❤

you are a wizard...always letting watch the next video because somehow i need it

I cant understand why to avoid things like supervised, performed or managed. From my understanding and businesses i worked in i needed to be competent, to carry out such activities, no one cares that you flopped one thing and it resulted in success, where you are completely incompetent in everything else... maybe thats why, its so hard to find competent ppl these days. or maybe its some kind of language misunderstanding by me. I dont get that i need to brag that i achieved like 50 meaningful objectives ( jest a few: doubled revenue, increased organic traffic by 40%, gain rankings for thousands of keywords against competition) instead of summing them up like managed growth, carried out redesign or improved UX.

Thanks Jeff

do you offer services for resume writing if I provide you with mine ?

where can i copy the the chat GPT prompt ?

Yeah, sorry, these are tips for young people who don't know any better. You don't need metrics unless you are applying to jobs in metrics driven industries. I've worked in IT for over 25 years and still have no issues getting jobs with bullet points that only outline what I actually did for the company. Any company that actually cares about your abilities would like to know what you're actual skills are and if you used those skills to do the job. If I'm applying for a job as a developer and I list that I completed 1001 sprints and 1 million lines of code, so what? Those numbers have nothing to do with the most important aspects of why you were hired and if you did the job properly. This focus on metrics is where the younger generations get into trouble (and why so many start-ups fail or are trash to work for). When I'm hiring for roles, I want to know exactly what tasks you were responsible for and were you effective at doing those tasks and metrics don't always tell that story.

I recently had a interview where i received a feedback on skills and interests should be on top rather then in the end. Whats your take on this @jeff

THANK YOU SO MUCH. REALLY HELPFUL

Is including self employed for around 5 years legit to mention in the CV?

How is it free? It wants me to select a paid monthly subscription

Thank youJeff!! for making this video, wow this helps soooo much, with my outdated resume wish me luck.......now watching and liking more of your content and working on my resume.. Keep up the great work..

Here's one for you, Jeff: I have a non-Anglo name that is hard to pronounce for most people. I worry that it will scare off employers (I've heard that males with English-sounding names garner the most callbacks.) Should I Anglicize or, at least, shorten it on my resume? Will they get suspicious if I revert to the real name when later on?

I think you're falling into the trap of assuming every job in the world is for one of the "big 4" consulting firms and that all people care about is statistically driven wank.

I like that shirt you have on in this. Where is that from?

How would you create a resume with no experience?

Jeff, very impressive and helpful video. My question is that most JD only lists the responsibilities, duties, requirements and our resume should match those duties and requirements. If we wrote our resumes with numbers about (how long, how many, how often ...), then it will not match the JD. How can we combine both matching JD and having numbers (Impacts in the resume) ？

not all achievements need to be quantified in %s, there are so many ways to provide metrics wo a %

Teal just automated the process i was doing all this while, I was dealing with commenting and uncommenting latex code for making specific configuration of RESUME, but teal made it just few clicks away
Thanks

Hey Jeff, thats a great video. I appreciate you for doing this coz it helps lot of ppl.
Just a doubt that is it ok if we "bold" keywords/metrics in the resume?

Is it okay for UK jobs?

Forget Teal, (although i did come across it, register and was blown away by the clear UX, features and simplicity a month ago)...Where was Jeff 3 weeks ago when I decided against my better judgement and pay $200 to get me CV and Linkedin done!

Jeff's content has to be the best around for this niche. Covering intricate points most people don't even think of making content for

Idk i spent 2 weeks studyng analitical shi and i never really got teached anything, ok let's not starting with telling you are good but thanks m8

Hi Jeff,

I really enjoyed your video on resume; it was very informative and high-quality. I've noticed that many resumes include a brief "About Yourself" section at the top, before listing work experience. However, I didn't see this section in your resume. Could you please let me know if including an "About Yourself" section is necessary?

Thank you.

Hey Jeff, I was wondering whether it is appropriate to include an abbreviation? For example, should I write Asphalt as just Asphalt or more technical short hand like ACP H1, or combined them like Asphalt (ACP H1). Just curious whether its better to use technical terms or layman terms or does it not matter.

“Showed up nearly every day for 9 months and only got fired once, resulting in a period of sound financial stability for my family” how often, how long, how many, with integrated google xyz model…

Accomplished X, as measured by Y, by doing Z

I underestimated the strength of online tools. This is incredible. Thanks for the video.

What should we say when the interviewer would ask us where we got those numbers? and how would we answer that? just a thought

Such a great tip about quantifying achievements! It really does make a resume stand out when you show how your work directly contributed to results. I’ve found that tools like Jobscan and Resumake also give helpful suggestions on improving resume content. Recently, I’ve been using Jobsolv, which not only helps with customizing resumes but also streamlines the entire application process with its auto-apply feature. It's saved me so much time!

and what do you do if you already graduated..did not land a student job and need a actual job and anot a internship..because money..

Tracking your metrics is easier said than done. It would be nice to get help with such a thing without paying an arm and leg

Just the content I am looking for. I have been struggling in finding new jobs because no companies would process my CV. Thanks, Jeff.. Definitely will try Teal..

The teal is not free so I can't change my mistakes. I had it on a few programs that is semi free but all of them are different. I'm not good in cv creating but would love if someone can just take my cv and revamped it. I did that a few times and its still not good. I do not have that much of experience in jobs as i was only the most of my time a casher. if you are branded you are done for.

Oh gosh I have spent way too much time listening and reading conflicting advice on this subject and more that I've lost valuable time submitting a resume and getting an interview, much less landing a job!

This video is simply very effective! Strongly recommend!

On the step for using ChatGPT to help improve bullet points by listing metrics, should I use my most recent resume or pull from my "master resume" where I literally list almost everything I did from day-to-day and most of the tools I used? Should I just keep it simple? Sometimes I feel like I'm starting with a resume that's already been too customized or modified.

This is also part of the reason I never pay resume writers. I feel like if I'm paying you I should be able to describe to you everything I do at a job, and you should be able to help me write my resume in a creative way to get my resume more noticed.
