Use
as you've noticed in the videos you want to reverse engineer the skills and mix a little bit of your
unique differentiators together.
So what we're going to do to reverse engineer this fails here is we're just going to go since John is
targeting a Big Four accounting firm I'm using being I use Google matter you see it in junior associate
KPMG jobs and one client there's a junior business analyst that's a good one.
All right so what you're going to see here is we're going to see some really start to see some some
common skills.
So what we're doing is is reverse engineering here.
So interviewing clients.
So that's something to take note of.
But their resumes are somewhere
right in the firemans gathering documentation
like maybe you do it
and you can see that you know I know about that because I have a background in financial recruiting
audit preparation.
But you know you should know that more about whatever particular job function you're you know that you're
going for.
And if you ever need to find out more you know where you can go in and and Google it and just you know
find out.
See you want to create a concrete little skills cluster so you see analysis and design for dissipation.
All right.
Seeing another thing year about documentation.
I we're doing here hear the qualification section is another good time to look at the skills here
multitasking and time management see that your
services are written and verbal communication skills strong quantitative skills.
There's analytic again quantitative you know those that's kind of the same thing quantitative and analytic.
So you know that's probably definitely worth if you can put that in bold just so that we can so that
you guys can see that clearly.
But we had.
Right.
So just in the interest of time we can just go ahead and roll with this.
And in the future low you know you're welcome to go in.
Google.
Multiple job descriptions.
Actually a business analyst as this is not exactly the kind of job that John was targeting But you know
if it's close if it's kind of the same level of seniority then you'll see that a lot of the skills are
the same.
I mean I think John probably wants to be more of a solid like audit associate.
But anyway for our purposes we can go ahead and position John for this business analyst thing and it'll
probably work for his audit associate as well.
But anyway since you're spending time it's always good to spend some time reverse engineering the skills
and making sure that what you highlight is right in your head because honestly these big six skills
here are going to inform how you develop your whole resume.
And you know later on how you develop your whole personal branding and everything.
So with respect to your career presentation anyway cool.
All right.
So I'm going to go ahead and add something from my notes here from the things that John and I worked
on together.
So he so he told me that he was that he had experience with all that preparation and one of his internships.
And then he said he had experience with think reconciliations and journal entries.
He said that he had a financial analysis piece team work and research.
Ok cool.
I know that I know that a lot of these companies value teamwork so that's a good one.
And then let's see.
He also had problem solving skills and this is always a good one to highlight if you're going for some
kind of consulting situation.
So anyway it's important to note actually this is a good time to say like you know.
So anyway.
Problem solving skills it sounds kind of broad.
Right.
And you know you see here that that especially if you are if you don't have a lot of work experience
yet so like less than say five years you know you can talk about your skills and interests.
Whereas if you're doing a more senior level resume you're going to probably want to say professional
expertise and you'll be using one of the more senior low mid mid to senior level templates.
But anyway you know problem solving skill.
Obviously there's a lot of different ways you can highlight that in the future.
So go ahead and be comfortable if you need us to you know put on your resume a relatively soft skill
like teamwork or problem solving that those are good things that were on your as one of your big skills
that is relevant to the job you do that you're applying for.
All right so now that we've got all of these We're going to kind of mix them up together.
All right.
And we're going to see if we can cluster together.
We've got analysis and design prep participation.
Multitasking in time is so.
Like one.
Here's another one to audit preparation so that two of those because he said he had a preparation
interviewing client this probably goes in here with this writing and verbal communication so we can
probably watch those together as well.
So you can probably group together this research and all that preparation
is all of preparation is all about gathering documents and getting them online.
That's kind of what research is about two or five.
I think I'm going to go ahead and do this.
Problem Solving
the networks how perfectly now we have six of these skills here and they're not perfectly phrased yet.
That's cool but it is worked out nicely in this case.
You see that we have six skills later on we might have in your case you might see like I have only four
or I have eight.
And so what I would tell you is like if if in this case we only had four.
What you can do is you can divide up something that is sort of a bigger skill into multiple.
For example you can make interviewing clients and written and verbal communication skills rather than
one.
And if you have too many skills you can do the reverse or just make sure that you are highlighting skills
that are relevant and most relevant to the job that you're applying for and it's OK to just leave a
couple skills out you don't have to tell everything on your resume just what's going to get you to the
next step which is an interview anyway.
So we're not going to phrase these now what I'm going to do is I'm just going to go and put these in
the in in the Big Six skills.
All right now before we do that and we start sort of format go back and look at the job description
and just see what the what the company is prioritizing in their job announcement
so the first thing that they say is interviewing clients understand their business needs requirements
gathering and documentation analysis and design decisions.
So they're basically use.
You see that one thing that they're prioritizing first is this interviewing clients and written and
verbal communication.
So we're to go and make that one.
I saw the next one was audit to that to see see this requirements gathering documentation.
And that is yes or no analysis.
This is what I want.
So yeah basically analysis is sort of too because audit preparation and research this is kind of ok
cool actually this is to lot of preparation and research.
This is three because if you see here it's kind of like one is this you know interviewing clients for
their business needs you know that's very communication oriented requirements gathering and documentation
that's more audit oriented research oriented.
An analysis is you know analysis.
So that's why we did one show you see one is here to
audit perforation and three is analysis and design.
So then now let's go ahead and rent the other ones and see John's got it's got basically some basic
accounting skills here and problem solving in a team environment and then multitasking and time management.
OK.
So let's go here and see how they prioritize them.
All right so just looking over here to see how they start prioritizing.
So I see this time management here and I see some tax stuff there.
OK so what I think we're going to do is we're going to go ahead and do time management as the fourth
one and then we're into the fifth one is this basically some tax stuff which is really accounting stuff
that is tax stuff.
And then 6 is problem solving a team environment.
All right so we're now now what you should do is let's just do this interviewing written verbal communication
which is that cut that and put it here the way to take the art of preparation research that towards
building our big skills right here
in this year.
Okay great.
All right.
So these should all be bold more bold because this is exactly what we want people to see right when
they see jobs I want to see the bolts.
They're like OK for the skills today.
All right.
So let's just go ahead as we wrap up this part.
Let's actually make these sound Let's phrase.
So this one interviewing written and verbal communication sites.
I think you can probably just say all right.
I think that's probably sufficient written and verbal communication because I think that gets into the
ring.
Well that's good interviewing writing and verbal communication.
All right.
So that's good.
Make that as one.
All right.
So the next one is audit preparation and research.
OK so I like the word audit.
Perforation I think this is good preparation and research like the but I think actually research should
go first because it's more of a skill than
OK.
So I'm just going to make these with the Geran researching.
OK.
So you see the reason I did the Geran there is that this one is in the Jarron interviewing writing.
So we want to be researching preparing.
We want to match the Teano parallel verb structure that's important.
So you know that's not to say you have to do it this way you could say interviews interview like you
can do for example written and verbal communication that's fine use to make sure that the same verb
structure goes throughout.
These these six skills and throughout your resume anyway.
So cool.
I also you know as I change this to.
Rather than audit preparation I said preparing documentation and that's because when you look here they
actually used the words the word documentation.
And so that's good because you want the words to match as much as possible between your resume and their
job description.
And then when we go here so we're going to do this is really about analysis analyzing data and that's
a good school and then this is pretty good multitasking in managing time busy managing projects.
See if it's that I'm going to try to say reconciling bank statements and making journal entries and
then Problem Solving the team environment then something really cool.
So now you see John has started his resume and now he has his big six skills.
So after this we're going to move on and go to the next one.
So our San Francisco based team would love to hear your ideas about forces feedback how to make this
work better.
