Hey man I copied your style on my resume and for the past year I attended 5 interviews and just started work last week. You're so helpful thank you so much. I'll always recommend you

@Xamplio Год назад

I’m glad it worked out so well for you. Congratulations on the new job! And, thank you for your kind words.

@jahualhaq9853 4 месяца назад

I have some questions: 1. I’ve been rejected from about 50 interviews. (In the last one they found the excuse that I could have given more examples. There must have been 20 to 30 perfectly given interviews with no feedback at all. The feedback I got from a lot of them is that they went for another candidate). 2. Before the pandemic it only took around 4 interviews to secure a new role 3. I went to a top business school and have half a decade of experience working for blue chip companies 4. *I’ve been given the advice by some corporate operatives that I could still somehow secure a role at a top company even if I’ve been unemployed for half a dozen years* *Is it discrimination? Is it bias because there is money involved? I would just like to know what is going on as I’m being forced to retire early abroad/take a career break in the summer*..

@CUCHO777 2 года назад

I wanna thank you so much, I took this format, tweaked it a little bit and it helped me land 4 interviews within a month. My old resume looked like crap and nobody ever called me. Now I finally got a job and that's thank to this helpful tutorial.

just wanted to stop by and leave a comment - which is something I rarely ever do - as I found this video to be a literal GODSEND! As someone who is trying to establish a career, creating a CV and the supporting documents has been a nightmare honestly but thanks to this video, i have not only been able to create a simple, sleek and professional CV but I have also gained invaluable knowledge that I will keep and implement always. As the saying goes "give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime". Simply put, you my friend have taught me how to fish. Many thanks!!!

@backseatxbroadcast 2 года назад

For some reason when I try to copy the formatting as you do from 2:35-3:18 it applies everything except the bottom border, and it actually removes the border from 'Skills' and applies it to whatever line I click. It won't duplicate the border with the rest of the format. Any idea why this happens?

@calebpartenheimer7636 2 года назад

I also not having success duplicating the bottom border. It also won't shrink up the box with 3 cells and I can't get my bullet points where I need them.

Oof, what college let you graduate with two degrees and no skills?? I kid... But surely you learned some skills in college and have picked some up from your work experience. Start with those. However, if you don't feel confident putting a skills section, you can always leave it off the resume.

@Xamplio 3 года назад

I would put the years you attended and maybe add a bullet point stating how many credits you completed. You can also use the opportunity to add bullet points about any research, projects, or classes that would boost your resume. Otherwise, if it won't add value, don't include the section.
