I just want to go over a few more details in terms of assessing where we're going to take your resume, and essentially planning out for the next section. The next session is where we're going to go over on how to actually craft a resume. But of course, you do want to see exactly what your resume shouldn't look like. And there are certain key things that I see on a lot of like the average resume how people are trying to cover up their mistakes. And I do want to go over my personal preferences here. So right here, I have a dummy resume that I found online.
And there are a lot of good qualities. I'm not gonna lie about that. We have the number, we have the email, we have the location if you're in a location, I'm just going to kind of go ahead and give you guys where I'm at. If I'm in Texas, I want to be specific and let them know I'm in Dallas, Texas, if I just put USA or Texas well me as a As an employer, I want to know is this person do I have to come visit is this person going to have to commute, there are certain things that we have to anticipate. And then another good option is to have the LinkedIn profile. If your LinkedIn profile is set up, you do want to put that in there.
But make sure that it's professional and you use a professional photo. So my personal preference when it comes to photos, keep them off your resume. I'm not a big fan of pictures and resumes, because I don't want there to be any bias and the the unfortunate truth is some employers and recruiters are bias, especially if you're an acting or modeling or talent production, talent management. Or if you're looking for an executive position. There are a lot of people that that really rely on just looks and although you are protected by the Civil Rights Act, it it kind of sucks that people are have a you know prejudgment to that. Another thing that I'm not a big fan of is How this setup is technologies and the education.
I do like the education, business administration and management, business expert in the machine and business management, the power MBA University. See, I like that that's specific. There are certain things I want to put in there like that. Did you graduate Summa Cum Loudon? Did you graduate with honors? Do you have any concentrations?
Do you have any awards that you got? Because this is actually too big with the title and it's taking up a lot of space. I don't get that specific. It's just kind of more of a screener. So this is a screener resume. And if we look at the 2005, all the way to 2017.
Well, there's no way that 12 years of experience can match up to to this one resume. So as you can see, there's a lot going on into the end, then. Oh, right here when I was 18 years old, I cross the Atlantic Ocean on a sailor about this, I will say is a good interview question. Just kind of like Tell me a little bit about yourself. I do like that. But again, this really doesn't tell me anything.
I am currently applying this learning in my professional development. It doesn't tell me anything but this is a really good interview question or interview startle comes to Spanish, I do not like grit. I like to make it very, very easy in terms of if you do not have an intermediate level in terms of another language. So if you are fluent in English, but you're learning Spanish, let's take myself for example, I have an intermediate level in Spanish. I'm not fluent, but I can have very good conversation, write a few emails, maybe draft a couple of documents, nothing do formal, but I have a very general understanding of Spanish. So of course, I don't want to put that as a level here.
Don't put French you could say beginner, intermediate. Immediate or advanced, beginner, intermediate fluent, I'm not a big fan of grants because it just, you know, just just make it easy for yourself. Don't make it complicated for the the recruiter and you have to look at this at the eyes of the recruiter. So that's kind of a few details. And in terms of, you know, this entrepreneur, again, there's a lot that goes into this. As you can see, there's just not enough value coming out of this, although there's four positions, there's just not enough value out of that.
And then the technologies if you can find a way to tie in technologies or additional skills into this, of course, that is always beneficial. Lastly, we have this one here. Again, a couple of examples is this. skills. I don't like grids, make it easy for yourself, tie it into your your your summary, because this doesn't tell me that you're insecure. gram.
When it comes to the Instagram, it's best that if you don't have a professional Instagram or if you're going out having a few drinks or if you're going out a lot, don't, don't put your Instagram in there. That is your personal life. Keep that separate from your work, unless it's a professional, Instagram, Jane Doe, email, Gmail, Jane Doe, Jane Doe, if you have a portfolio, and this is the link to your portfolio, by all means, put that in there, especially in this sense that you have architecture. If this is your architecture work, go ahead, by all means tie anything that's professional into there. You want to be able to segregate or separate your personal life and your work life and you can have a crossover depending on the level of professionalism and that would be your judgment call. In terms of here, I do like this intern architect develop an executed online social media and print marketing strategies for new projects.
Now you could talk about the success rate here, which she does over here, clients had a satisfaction rate of over 95%. You would want to back this up with your references created 3d models, rendering and video animations. In this one, I would go a little bit more specific of what program did you use? And how did you do it? A core technical IT skills, graphics, this is really great stuff. SketchUp pro and this is specific, I love specifics, graphics, 3d modeling platforms.
Other I love that. I do believe that this could be all combined into just the section of its own. It doesn't need that much space. And again, the language is thing, beginner, intermediate advanced. If you feel like you're on the intermediate level, that's perfectly fine. But if you're at the beginner level, use that as a starting point in any kind of interview setting.
So in this case, I would say English, Danish and German, English would be fluent Danish and German would be intermediate, make it simple. And then personal projects, by all means if you have any personal projects like this here case German and Spanish, and then you have personal projects that had any kind of awards, or recognitions, go ahead and put that in there. I really do do like that here. So there's a lot of good and bad, and this kind of stuff. But really, if we have 2014 to, let's say, 2016 to 2017, we can create a short career summary. If we break down the specifics of what did you do?
How did you do it? Why did you do it? And was there improvement over time? We can create a short summary and get that in here, even though there's an intern position, but a lot of people don't break things down. They just go with their day to day, speak to yourself. And really, how devoted Are you in getting the specifics out and that's really good.
To be the driving force. And lastly, we have one more that I actually do like this. Now I have a title a cashier, I know exactly that when I look at this at this Darla DeMarco she's a cashier, so we have accurate, efficient, dependable customer focus team oriented. These words can be used into her career summary. So when it comes to this career summary, I do like the fact that we have accurate efficient, dependable customer focus team oriented. Find a way to use words like these into the career summary.
Of course we have energetic, hard working, passionate about serving others, well that's customer focus, you don't if you've already put that in there, then you don't need to repeat yourself skills. I love this. It's broken up into core skills. So if I send this the applicant tracking system if a cashier if an employer is looking for a cashier and they say cash register drop, balance, retail front operations, cash your audits and reports. I like this. I genuinely do inventory management, loss mitigation, how to prevent loss store opening and closing procedures.
This is the stuff that we're going to need to use in terms of really getting past the applicant tracking system experience ABC, this is a really good thing sometime. The Nevada cashier, six 615 to present I like this ABC Company one of the biggest brochure girls in the US I love it that I like that scan bag and load purchases process check credit cards, I would say what the sole purpose was in a career summary. Here we're really looking at what is the purpose of this. And if you say identified as the store's high potential leaders, through the selection for the head for head cashier, well, we want to emphasize this here. So brag yourself a little bit in your title. And then right here on under with the integrity really good maintain knowledge of weekly ads, specials, promotions, warm greeting at the register, I like this And believe it or not for, for this being a dummy resume, this is actually really good, I would give this a B plus, in terms of for what you're given at hand for the cards that you're dealt, this is actually really, really, really good compared to the other ones.
But that wraps up this section, I hope you got a lot of value of seeing what exactly your resume should or should not look like. These are just my personal preferences. And just to wrap this one up, it's short, sweet to the point and we like that. One thing you need to know coming into the next section is you want to look for improvement always look for improvement. And that's really just the point when you're crafting a resume whether it's your own or somebody else's. You want to ask as many questions as possible.
Not only to yourself but to your clients because the more information you get the more value that you can put into that resume. So that wraps it up for the first section. I will see you in the next
