1

00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:02,670

Ok cool.



2

00:00:02,930 --> 00:00:07,790

So your resume is going to be centered around six core skills and these skills are kind of like the



3

00:00:07,790 --> 00:00:08,830

wheels on a car.



4

00:00:08,870 --> 00:00:10,810

It makes everything good.



5

00:00:10,910 --> 00:00:17,110

The cool thing is we're about to teach you how to hack this system and find what skills organizations



6

00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:23,270

are looking for so that you can design your resume in a way that helps you when labor market experts



7

00:00:23,270 --> 00:00:29,870

know that most people are looking at resumes for about six seconds before they decide to put that resume



8

00:00:29,990 --> 00:00:35,180

in the interested pile or in the garbage.



9

00:00:35,380 --> 00:00:39,350

The thing is almost all professionals are really busy and short on time.



10

00:00:39,550 --> 00:00:45,050

And companies report that they get about 250 applicants for every job opening that they have.



11

00:00:45,190 --> 00:00:49,420

So that means somebody is sitting there looking at a mountain of resumes.



12

00:00:49,420 --> 00:00:54,970

These people develop ice scanning techniques and research shows that their eyes tend to gravitate towards



13

00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,820

these areas of the page.



14

00:00:56,830 --> 00:01:00,460

These are the places on the page where your resume needs to shout.



15

00:01:00,460 --> 00:01:04,310

I have the skills that your organization needs to thrive.



16

00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,360

That's why the template that you have is designed the way that it is.



17

00:01:08,830 --> 00:01:09,100

All right.



18

00:01:09,100 --> 00:01:11,000

So let's take John for example.



19

00:01:11,290 --> 00:01:12,840

John is a digital marketer.



20

00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:18,970

So what he does is he goes on his favorite search engine and puts digital marketing job description



21

00:01:18,970 --> 00:01:24,530

there and pulls up a few job descriptions in the desired qualifications section usually.



22

00:01:24,550 --> 00:01:31,120

Sometimes in the ideal candidate section it'll show skills that are desired by the Organization for



23

00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,000

the applicants in this role.



24

00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:38,880

The skills that are listed higher on those job descriptions are higher priority skills for those organizations.



25

00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:44,700

And so it's not that John needs to think I need to put these skills verbatim on my resume.



26

00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:51,070

But it's certainly worth considering the best mix is to mix the skills that are listed on those job



27

00:01:51,070 --> 00:01:58,480

descriptions with John's natural talents by blending the required skills with the natural talents the



28

00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:04,030

person who's scanning the resume is going to see John has the skills that are needed for this role.



29

00:02:04,030 --> 00:02:05,370

It's kind of like a system.



30

00:02:05,530 --> 00:02:11,390

If you have the skills that are required for the job then you will likely get an interview.



31

00:02:12,730 --> 00:02:17,140

So if you have something that you would like to ask about a particular topic or a comment that you think



32

00:02:17,140 --> 00:02:22,690

would help any of the other class members go ahead and use the discussions feature here Anyuta me to



33

00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:27,120

either start a discussion or a topic or respond to one that already exists.
