Hi, Alex here from rebeloper.com. Welcome back to the channel and welcome back to
this tutorial about resumes. So I want you to hit that subscribe button because
I want you to learn how to build out this awesome resume for your perfect job.
So let's just jump right into it. Resumes. They are the first step to getting your
dream job. Whether they like it or not it depends on your layout on your
configuration and of course on your skills, but it is the first knock on the
company's door. So let's just talk about that how you should create that and some
do's and don'ts about creating them. Now I have created mine on resume.io
I am not affiliated in any kind to resume.io but it really lays out a
good interface and you can download as a PDF if you wanted to of course that is a
paid version but you could download the txt or just maybe have this link because
yes you can share its link and yeah it's live on their site and anybody can
access your resume with a link. So my first advice is to create a master resume
and then a short resume. Now on a master you just bump everything in there like
all of your works all of all of the things that you want to show and you are
proud of. Now as you can see there are these kind of designs, you could choose
between many designs. I like I prefer this one. So let's take a
look at what you actually want to add in your resume and I will open up the
master one. So the first one is the job title. Senior iOS engineer. Now this
should be basically the title that you are applying to and of course you have
to have that experience as well. First name, last name, your photo.
It should be relatively professional like a simple photo not a party photo of course.
Or not something of an avatar or something like that. Email and phone it's
good to have and next up we have our professional summary. Now this is at the
very top of your resume it's very important because many recruiters will
only read this part. So if they don't like it or they consider that you are
not a good fit for the job they will do so according to your professional
summary so make sure you needle this one correctly, it should be real short, snappy
and to the point of what you are and what you represent. It should be again
this this could be replaced for different jobs that you apply to but it
basically it should be okay I'm perfect for this job. I let's say you apply for a
swift job. Okay, I know Swift for such-and-such years or
if you apply for objective-c. I have been working in the objective-c for 10 years
and so on. So what I have here is writing iOS code full-time for 8 plus years.
As you can see I emitted I am where, I was writing I have been writing these kind
of words can be emitted in resumes, as you can see passionate about teaching
others how to code and some stats that prove my point and YouTube.
I need to update this I have over 460 K views by now udemy I believe it's 42 k
students Instagram 12 K plus followers. So yeah this kind of bulleted stuff is
really, really nice because they can skim over it and get a glass of your
experience and what you are about, okay.
Next up, websites and social links. If you have any social links you should
LinkedIn, GitHub maybe YouTube, Instagram. It didn't really matter what you
add in next maybe your portfolio and as you can see I have this rebeloper.com
portfolio. So let's jump into the portfolio part here and you should have
if this could be added onto GitHub or maybe some free service. I have here a
list of my favorite works. Let's take a look at capture and you should sart of
with a description of what the app does. A lot of pictures maybe a lot of iPhones
the recent iPhones with mockups you can see from idea to app, social
again good UI that you have created and maybe and a development stack that you
AVFoundation, Firebase like this means that we are using likes for the
post, newsfeed and so on. And delivered in seven weeks if that is a good fit for
you, most importantly show that you are
capable of doing these kind of apps and with a lot of images. Like it, click the
hamburger menu and hire us and yes you can hire me to just click in here and
select hire us and just scroll down, yeah. Ideas are nothing. Execution is the game.
You just scroll down and complete this for, just a few questions and I do
mentoring and app building too. So let's go over back to our resume and move forward
with the skills. Now I have selected don't show experience level because
experience is kind of vague what does it mean that you are an expert or you're a
beginner and maybe you don't want to add in that you are a beginner let's say in
UIKit or something like that. Make sure you list out or all of your
strengths like Swift, UIKit, SwiftUI and so on Stripe,
Firebase, RXSwift and I wouldn't add in here the experience level. Now experience
and skills. Now I'm front-end developer and back-end
developer but on the black-end developer I just use firebase. So on the
front-end developer I like to show off all of my screens like built and
launched 40-plus apps and games, extensive knowledge and user of cocoa
pods and so on, so MVVM, react programming, dynamic links. So why not, everything
that you can do you can add here for your skills and of course source control.
Now this experience and skills you could add in here some apps too if you wanted
to but what I'd like to do because I'm into contracting and I have been since I
have created my own company is that under the employment history if you
don't have other employers throughout your lifetime then you could add in your
projects and that's what is what I did is contracting full stack developer at
Hey Latitude. Full stack developer at See It Buddy LLC. So make sure that your
employment history is kind of your app portfolio if you are a solopreneur, okay.
And here just the regular stuff the employer started end date and again
bullet points detailing what you did and what are your strengths. Now make sure
that you add in here also your soft skills, maybe you were communicating with
some clients, maybe you had some meetings. Make sure you add them in here too.
Because yes skills they are hard skills soft skills can be added here. Language
English yeah I'm a native speaker English, but go ahead and add in any other
languages that you already know. Education yeah I just added this here
because it's kind of Easter Egg that I graduated in Fine Arts
acting and something that really spices up your resume you can add any place here.
Education is my part it could be something else for your case. If you
don't have former education you could omit this but yeah I just like to show
them because most of the time they ask oh, oh you're an actor and how come
you became a developer. So that is a really interesting topic to start off
the talk and then move on to more serious stuff, okay.
Other parts you can add custom sections like hobbies, references, courses,
internships if that applies to you you can add them if you wanted to but make
sure that it is some sort of around one and maybe two pages but one is ideal
because as you can see in my master resume I have quite a lot of stuff going
on here. I have almost three pages in full.
So there you go and yeah you could download this as PDF if you pay for it you don't
have to if you don't want to but this is good template or you could just share
the link and I will show you if you tap on here. You can share a link and send it
over, okay. Let's move to, so this is the master.
So let's move on to the short one. Let me just close this off as I told you you
should consider shrinking your resume to one page because nobody will read that
so and they are quite annoyed by that so if your resume is sweet and short the
better. So create a duplicate of it and then just omit or just shorten
everything, yeah. I just left the professional summary as is edit all of
those links because they are on the right and now skills the same experience
and skills. Now I believe yeah it's it's it's the same
the only thing that I have changed here is the employment history and co-founder
and iOS developer at Rebeloper. Now I have changed all of that because I
wanted to show them my kind of timeline and the shorter the better again and
make sure you and in here your strengths. Again language, education and so on.
By the way I do have my Rebeloper link here so they can actually take a look at my
work, your portfolio so to say and basically that is it let's take a look
at the dis preview right now and it is much sweeter and shorter. Of course if
you don't want to download it as a PDF you could shrunk it into let's say one
page, I only have dedication on this part so it's really just the small stuff and
just shrink it when I want to or I can just share the link, okay. Now that is it
for creating your resumes. Again just a recap make it sweet and short make it to
the point and add in your strength as your skills. So now you know how you can
create your perfect resume. I hope you will land your dream job with those.
