Guys, I've got two examples here for you. It's really important to distinguish Hey, what's a good resume? What's a bad resume? And so right now in front of us, you'll see one two bad resumes and I want you just to have a quick look and see why you think these are this is a bad resume. Why? Why would I pick these as an example for you guys to learn from of not What to do?
So guys, you'll see in this first one there is Fiona Jenkins. So if you enter Jenkins is has a picture of a flower. She's got a really strange email called hot babe and pale, calm. She's got her marital status in their education looks okay. But her work history is very Short, no description of her responsibilities. Her hobbies and interests represent her in a good light almost represents her as a bit lazy.
She has a driver's license. I mean, that's probably irrelevant unless she's applying for a job that requires it. She's her own reference as well, which is a bit strange. So yeah, this is a perfect example of a really bad resume and it doesn't represent her in a good light. Hot babe@hotmail.com shows that she's unprofessional. The picture is unnecessary.
Most finance professional resumes don't have any graphics. Let's say you're doing marketing. You might have graphics or you might have your face on it, or you know something creative to show off your creative flair. But in the case of a finance resume, pictures are probably a no go. And typically, it would just be a very professional standard template that you'll need to apply for a financial analyst position. Her marital status is not a good idea.
What's the bias children putting in there lots of bias that comes let's just say she is single, with lots of children, immediately people are stereotyping her which is not good. Health is unnecessary nationalities also unnecessary things like your religion is also unnecessary. These are things that you would not put in your resume because, unfortunately, HR recruiters bosses, you know, we all have some kind of bias and so we want to eliminate or as much bias as possibly can. So when you remove some of those more personal details, you are potentially removing bias and making your resume process easier for your particular recruiter or HR person. And so this is really important. So really outside quite a bad resume might give it like a one out of 10, maybe one and a half 10.
So we want to make sure that for You guys, you're getting a 10 out of 10 nine out of 10 resume guys and this is what we're going to example to this is also a fairly bad resume mean he's got his hobbies straight up front, obviously portents detail crooklyn v Tei spelled incorrectly you know it's hallux of the name Jim Hawkins when it's inconsistent with other metallics, hobbies, including drinking with mates Long You know, sleep ins plays Nintendo so it shows that he's lazy as well. He, you know, he's object he's objection, which is, you know, another typo error should be objectives. He writes, I want a good job so I can go out more so clearly a pretty bad resume right here. Not good. Especially He finds offices boring. So he's just telling them exactly what they don't want to hear if anything, he's gonna sound like he's gonna be a lazy employee to retake geography, mathematics and Sox.
The list goes on. He's got like a half cover letter here, in his particular thing, he uses a lot of AI. It's pretty bad. So obviously, you put yourself in the shoes of an employer. You look at this and you'd probably not want to, to you probably put in the junk politic policy. And so for you guys.
I wanted to show you some bad resumes to make sure that you don't repeat the same mistakes and we're about to go through what would make a great resume.
