1

00:00:06,900 --> 00:00:10,370

Resumes I know that there are not people.



2

00:00:10,410 --> 00:00:13,950

Most people think the right way to spend your time.



3

00:00:14,310 --> 00:00:16,480

And you know what they're really important.



4

00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:18,440

They're important for a couple of reasons.



5

00:00:18,450 --> 00:00:23,610

The first reason is the simple reason which is that presenting yourself powerfully on this piece of



6

00:00:23,610 --> 00:00:29,370

paper or in a PDA is still really important when your resume gets to the right person.



7

00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:34,890

Even if you go through some sort of automated system or you have a friend at the company they're still



8

00:00:34,890 --> 00:00:36,210

going to ask you for a resume.



9

00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:41,070

And it's important that you present yourself powerfully on that document.



10

00:00:41,070 --> 00:00:45,570

Now the other reason the second reason that resumes are becoming increasingly important is that when



11

00:00:45,570 --> 00:00:51,570

you put these resumes into things like applicant tracking systems or eight yeses that's what human resource



12

00:00:51,570 --> 00:00:55,250

departments often have you fill out when you apply for a job.



13

00:00:55,290 --> 00:01:00,450

Your resume is basically going to be parsed up by all these basic software packages.



14

00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,230

And then it's going to be analyzed and things like that.



15

00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:09,210

So your resume needs to be both powerful for people who are actually reading it so that they think oh



16

00:01:09,210 --> 00:01:10,230

this person looks good.



17

00:01:10,230 --> 00:01:13,570

I trust them and you're going to find out more about that coming up.



18

00:01:13,740 --> 00:01:20,130

And also to have those keywords in there so that when your resume goes into a software package which



19

00:01:20,130 --> 00:01:26,040

is then analyze the data is then analyzed as a part of assessing your candidacy that you come up in



20

00:01:26,130 --> 00:01:28,950

the good category you come in for interviews and things like that.



21

00:01:29,220 --> 00:01:31,730

So we're going to dive into the resume section here.



22

00:01:31,740 --> 00:01:36,990

First you're going to find out about the Big Six skills which is a core part of this learning experience.



23

00:01:36,990 --> 00:01:41,390

And then I will see you in the next section where we actually write a resume together.
