Ok cool.
So your resume is going to be centered around six core skills and these skills are kind of like the
wheels on a car.
It makes everything good.
The cool thing is we're about to teach you how to hack this system and find what skills organizations
are looking for so that you can design your resume in a way that helps you when labor market experts
know that most people are looking at resumes for about six seconds before they decide to put that resume
in the interested pile or in the garbage.
The thing is almost all professionals are really busy and short on time.
And companies report that they get about 250 applicants for every job opening that they have.
So that means somebody is sitting there looking at a mountain of resumes.
These people develop ice scanning techniques and research shows that their eyes tend to gravitate towards
these areas of the page.
These are the places on the page where your resume needs to shout.
I have the skills that your organization needs to thrive.
That's why the template that you have is designed the way that it is.
All right.
So let's take John for example.
John is a digital marketer.
So what he does is he goes on his favorite search engine and puts digital marketing job description
there and pulls up a few job descriptions in the desired qualifications section usually.
Sometimes in the ideal candidate section it'll show skills that are desired by the Organization for
the applicants in this role.
The skills that are listed higher on those job descriptions are higher priority skills for those organizations.
And so it's not that John needs to think I need to put these skills verbatim on my resume.
But it's certainly worth considering the best mix is to mix the skills that are listed on those job
descriptions with John's natural talents by blending the required skills with the natural talents the
person who's scanning the resume is going to see John has the skills that are needed for this role.
It's kind of like a system.
If you have the skills that are required for the job then you will likely get an interview.
So if you have something that you would like to ask about a particular topic or a comment that you think
would help any of the other class members go ahead and use the discussions feature here Anyuta me to
either start a discussion or a topic or respond to one that already exists.
