hey everybody Don Georgevich here I
hope you're doing well today
in this video I want to give you one
simple technique that you could use
that's gonna make your resume stand out
and it's gonna make you stand out in the
interview process you can call it a
trick a technique a hack an idea or
whatever but this one thing is going to
make your resume look better and it's
gonna make you look better in the
interview and that's what you want right
of course we do
yeah you know as well as I do that for
every resume that you send out 20 30
maybe 50 other people are sending theirs
out and applying for the same job so
what happens on the employer side if
they get 50 resumes and let's say you
were applying for an accounting position
won't they go through all 50 resumes and
they're like well you know thirty of
these are just garbage thirty people
don't even have any accounting
experience so they toss those out then
they get down to the 20 and they start
wielding those down and maybe they get
down to ten that of people who actually
have accounting experience like you and
they're looking for reasons to call
those people in for an interview so
they're looking at all the experience
they're looking at your education
they're looking for how long you've been
working so most people on their resume
they list their education and their
experience but one thing most people
leave off their resume that makes that
can make a huge difference it's
volunteerism
simply put volunteerism and that is free
experience that you can get by giving
away your time and you can get
volunteerism very easily you can donate
your time at maybe your local church
your school the Boy Scouts Kiwanis Club
any kind of local organization that's in
your town you can volunteer your time
and give them a little PCU and help them
solve some problems on their side and
you could do that for free and you know
what you get free experience in return
and when you have a little section on
your resume that says volunteerism
PTA club you know ran the accounting
books kept track of fundraisers whatever
it is that little piece of experience is
going to separate you from the masses of
all the other job seekers that are out
there so now when they're going through
resumes and you know employers are
looking through all these resumes they
see that you volunteered your time and
you've been volunteering your time at
the local PTA club and you've been
keeping their books and it's accounting
experience and you're going for an
accounting position that makes a huge
difference I mean volunteerism is great
but it's better when what you volunteer
for is connected to your career and it's
connected to your job now I mean if you
just went out and you volunteered in the
neighborhood picking up leaves or maybe
you helped the little old ladies cross
the street I mean that's great
but it's not it's not related to
accounting so it doesn't add as much
value to your candidacy as volunteering
and accounting at a local school Church
you know whatever it is Boy Scouts
doesn't matter as long as it's related
to what you do that makes such a huge
difference and what that's going to do
of those member of those 10 resumes that
they whittled down from 50 to 10 they're
gonna look at those they're going to see
that you have volunteer experience and
that's what's going to get you the call
now the next step here's where this
approach is twofold one it helps you get
your resume found get you found and get
you in there for an interview the other
thing it does is it makes you stand out
in the interview process so let's say
after they they look at 10 resumes and
they bring in 5 candidates and they
interview all five and everybody seems
the same they all have good experience
they all have the same amount experience
they have good education so now you have
five people who look good on paper and
they look good in the interview process
so what does the employer supposed to do
to figure out which one of those five to
hire well they see that you have
volunteer experience and you've been
volunteering your time for schools
churches local clubs in your community
for accounting and what that does is
that makes you stand out that makes you
stand out from these five other people
big time now there's now it's not equal
anymore you've got four people who have
good experience and education and then
there's one person that it's good
experience education and volunteerism
that makes you the big winner and what
that does is that creates the
opportunity for you to get the job just
exponentially it's so huge and and like
I said this is just I'm just using an
accounting example but you can apply
this to anything you know whether you're
a programmer whether you're an engineer
you're a manager you know a nurse
doesn't matter volunteer your time into
something that is related to what you do
in your career and put that on your
resume and talk about that in the
interview process and that it's going to
help you go so much farther in the
interview process and what it's likely
going to do is it's going to help you
get hired a lot faster all right so do
that go out there help somebody
volunteer your time put that on your
resume talk about in the interview and I
guarantee you you're gonna be so much
happier you're just you're gonna feel so
good about yourself of just volunteering
your time just a little bit of your time
it's gonna help you so much and it's
gonna help you get that job faster it's
gonna make you look better in the
interview and it's going to help you
stand out from all the other people that
you're competing against because now
you've gone farther you've taken that
extra step you've gone that extra mile
that most people don't go most people
don't give away their time like that but
I know you're different and I know you
can do this and I know you want to do
this and let's say let's say you don't
have any experience at all let's say you
know you come to me and you're like Don
you know I I just graduated from college
I've got an accounting degree but I have
no experience at all how am I gonna go
to employers say it then volunteer your
time
that's free experience that you can put
on your resume just because you didn't
get paid doesn't mean it is an
experience so get out there whether
you've worked the job or not volunteer
your time put that on your resume it's
gonna help you go so much farther in the
interview process all right my friend
