here's a big one they misspelled
education so it's edge.you
Q Asian when I look at a resume and I'm
evaluating it there are a number of
things I look for right away that I just
want to cross off the list when I
initially look at this resume the first
thing that I'm looking at is I'm trying
to figure out why the education is at
the top when you're farther along in
your career the most important selling
point should be further up at the top
while the degrees are nice they go at
the bottom now I don't need to know you
were on the dance team it's it's not
relevant to what you're doing today I'm
pretty sure I also don't need to know
your G maths

these dots are subjective who's grading
you what's the scale here what is this
supposed to tell me I know a little bit
about this and a lot about that I would
much rather have proficient an expert
and have the names of these so I just
found out that underneath this lovely
piece of tape is actually a photo of the
person unless you are a TV personality
you require a headshot as part of your
role there is absolutely no reason why
you should have a picture of your face
they don't care that you like Dave
Matthews Band so quick glance at this
looks like a solid resume actually this
early on in a career I expect to only
see bullets and to only see a few for
each role so I don't have a problem with
that the one thing that does bother me
is there's no punctuation
I just want periods after them just just
to make it look like sentence
[Music]
I'm not a huge fan of this I think it
just throws it off
we know that recruiters look for six
pieces of specific information in those
six seconds and this makes it
challenging for me to find all that
information I'm having one color here is
I think okay I would just make sure that
it's easy to read I think the orange
actually is a little challenging on a
white background so maybe that's not the
color to go with here's a big one they
misspelled education so it's edge u Q
Asian so that's a problem okay the first
thing I think of when I see this is that
it's an eye chart it's a test because
it's really challenging to read because
the font so small someone's going to
look at this and go cross-eyed
