Hey Ambitious Professionals! It's Linda Raynier of lindaraynier.com, guiding you
to a career and life you'll truly enjoy and in today's video I'm going to teach
you how to write a resume if you want to get into a different job or industry
than the one that you're currently in now
the first thing that employers see when they look at your resume is something
called your profile or summary section if you currently don't have that on your
resume then this video is definitely the one for you because I'm going to explain
to you how important those first few sentences are and I'll explain how to
develop those sentences so that when the employer first looks at it in the first
five to ten seconds they can say wow this person is the exact right fit for
the type of job that I'm currently hiring for and I definitely want to
bring them in for an interview so I'm going to describe the purpose of the
profile section and I'm also going to teach you how to incorporate it in a way
where it can relate to the different type of job or industry that you want to
get into so first off what exactly is a profile or summary section first it
represents a snapshot of your background experience and education describing who
you are and what you're capable of and like I said it's the first thing that
employers see so it has to be clear concise and it has to hit the nail on
the head to tell the employer that you are the exact fit for the job that
you're applying to you want to avoid soft skills and specifically just go for
the technical skills when you're describing your profile and overall it
should be about three to four bullet points max so now that you know what a
profile section is let's move on to the three steps on how to prepare your
profile and to match it to the exact type of different industry or job that
you want to get into step number one create your overarching bullet point by
outlining an overview of your professional background experience
education industries etc and the key to doing this successfully is to identify
the keywords that are on the job descriptions for those different
positions that you want to apply to and then match it back to the key duties
responsibilities and tasks that you've performed in your current roles and in
your previous roles that align with those keywords in my top notch resume
course I actually go into this concept super in-depth and I even give a
template on exactly how the per sentence should be written in your profile how
each of the bullet points should be written but for the purpose of this
video this is what you need to know step number two discuss
your technical skills and knowledge in the profile section so in this section
of your profile you want to list all the key concepts that you have knowledge of
or that you've had experience with doing and incorporate them into this bullet
point in your profile section because even if you don't have the hands-on
experience but you have knowledge of those specific concepts that the job is
asking for then it's important for you to showcase that and demonstrate that
this is especially important if you lack the job experience but you have the
necessary knowledge and qualifications or understanding of that particular job
or industry and this can include software skills as well so anything like
Excel or other types of complex systems that you have knowledge of and
experience with then definitely include that in this bullet point finally step
number three discuss your language or more technical skills or knowledge that
you possess this third and final bullet point gives you the opportunity to
express your language capabilities if that's what the job is asking for or it
gives you the opportunity to further emphasize your key technical knowledge
concepts requirements and experience that you know are relevant for this
position that you're applying to that you happen to have so there you have it
