Hey guys, thank you very much for tuning in to the applicants of hired masterclass. In this section, all we're discussing is how to craft a resume. This includes establishing the title, it includes how to craft phrases together, how to use adjectives, which I have like selling ads, and then using power verbs to really make your resume stand out in terms of the format, and you're going to learn a little bit about how to actually format the resume itself, the scientific part, which is fairly easy, because I already have a downloadable template for you. So understand that with your downloadable template, you can use it as you see as you fit, change it as you wish. Use it. I have notes in that for you.

So you don't have to stress too much in actually creating a resume from scratch. However, should you want to change it, there are certain things that you have the option of doing, granted that you know exactly where you want to take it and going from there. It's just really at your discretion. If you find there are certain tools that use that you use note that I'm using Microsoft Word, you may be using Google Docs, I'm using a PC, you may be using a Chromebook or Mac, the fundamental is still the same. So change it as you see fit. It's not a one size fits all and use your better judgment.

So right here in this resume, we're going to be discussing just a little bit about the sheet itself. So if I click up the top of the page, we can see that we have a, a header. I like using headers because I need my information separate from the actual work history. I'm gonna put name and then from here, I'm gonna put my degree ba. And then going from here. I'm gonna put address because we need to know where you live email and then they're going to Need to Know your cell phone number.

So they can call you. Sometimes they may email you, sometimes they may call you, it just really depends on how their business operates. You want to give them as much information as possible. That is the bare minimum, this is the 500 points that you get for writing your essay t like writing your name on sa t, this is the bare minimum. Now, I actually already went ahead and created a few things for you. So don't trip out.

We're gonna bold that we're going to go to home, we're going to adjust this to 24. We're going to bold, all these sections. And then right here. One thing we're going to do, we're going to create a little bit of a line. So we can distinguish that from everything else. And we're going to do that.

And we're all set. So that's essentially how we're going to distinguish what is our line When it comes to work history and our name and our title, when it comes to the references, I mean, when it comes to the layout, we do want to ensure that we have narrow margins. So as you can see that, I'm gonna do that, again, this is normal, you go layout, margins narrow. And you can see that this kind of had a, a widening, we want to use as much space as possible and give a professional outlook. Now, I already have information set out for you because you're going to need this in your resume. Don't worry, you don't have to worry about creating it entirely from scratch because I got that set up for you in a, a standard format.

But we but I do want to go over a few things in the format that you use. You're going to want to know some things in the chief executive officer. You're gonna need a title that is a must have that is step number one, you have to find a title. I'm going to be providing a cheat sheet for you. So at least when you get that cheat sheet of titles to use, use it as you see fit, you're gonna be, you're gonna have to create a career summary. And of course, I got that set up for you and how long the sentences will be, don't you worry, I'm going to show you on how to craft phrases together.

And the core competencies, you have the bullet form. Now I have this set up where all you have to do is simply copy and paste the same format, but change it as you see fit. We'll go over that soon. And education, we're going to see that only and understand this is only if you have zero to two experiences. So this is a must have. If you have zero to two years of experience, you need your education in front.

If you don't, you can simply get rid of it. For your work history. You're going to have three to five years experience and then you're going to put your education here on the bottom. Then after you have your worst case Straight, you're gonna have your job one, you're going to separate it with a one to two paragraph summary, main duty and responsibility, three to five bullet points as you see fit job to job three, you're going to repeat as needed, you want to ensure that this is relevant experience. Underneath that if you have three to five plus years of experience, then you could put your education on the bottom, and then your awards, additional skills and programs. And then any recognitions publications that you have.

So again, guys, it's fairly simple. In terms of creating the resume, you already have a template made for you. So that's essentially half the work done. Now it's just piecing it together. Now when it comes to actually formatting the the resume, I do want to put a couple of things to you. So you're going to use this a lot as you can see here.

I have my cursor right here. The one to 1.5 1.5 to 2.53. That is going to happen okay. You're going to add a space before the paragraph, move it guys, you're going to have to adjust it as you see fit. Depending on your resume, you don't want it too crowded and you don't want it too packed. If I give you an actual dummy template, it would never give you the opportunity to fail and learn and toggle it as you see fit.

So I have a baseline for you to start off of understand this paragraph section is going to be your best friend. Another thing that you can do in terms of layout, you can create columns. So I'm gonna kind of create this here 1232 columns. As you can see, I literally moved my work history as it is, but then I created two columns. You can move it to create three columns. guys use this as you see fit.

We have resources like that for a reason and it's going to make your life so much easier. Now there is gonna be a little bit of toggle work. It's called troubleshooting. Normal, it's going to happen. I myself still have problems when I'm working with clients on how to actually craft a resume. This is something that's going to be very impacting guys, it's fairly simple, you're only using three to five things at best, if I go home, you're changing it from either Calibri or Times New Roman.

That's essentially it, you're using bullet points, I tell the size underscore, as you see fit the paragraph as needed. Right 1234, your text is only going to be from 10 to 14. And the only one that's going to be the biggest is which is your title. That's going to be at 24. Everything else is pretty standard. From there, your layout, of course, you can use columns, you can use one column, that's perfectly fine.

And then when you go from here, you have everything set up. So it's fairly simple, guys, you already have a template. Now, let's just crafting everything together using the template or creating your own as you see fit, but you don't have to worry about trying to create something from scratch. Use it they're hot and ready. Let's go ahead and get into the next section.
