Speaker 1: to tell you that applying for a job, or writing

00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 1: an essay for an getting into a school, or answering

Speaker 1: questions and writing it out for any sort of evaluation

5
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 1: or grade, I was not good at. Like I if

6
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: I had to write up my own resume by myself,

7
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: I would panic, I would change things. I would I

8
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: would never want to let it like let it go

9
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 1: because big anxiety. But they do say that you know,

10
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: there are really important things to do to know about

11
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: in writing your resume, so it stands out or doesn't

12
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 1: just mean to get discarded because you've also looked at

13
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: resumes by people you know, you know what they didn't

14
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: even take the time to do X And October is

15

Speaker 1: So Aaron McGoff is a career advisor joining us now. Aaron,

17
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: good morning, Thanks for coming on, Hi Ryan, thanks for

18
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: having me. I think this is so valuable and I

19
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: panic when it comes to formalizing anything in writing. But

20
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 1: a resume is so important because if you get it

21
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: wrong out of the gate, you don't get a shot

22
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 1: at all. No, not at all. So by the Way.

23
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: Aaron is a documentary filmmaker, director, and editor who now

24
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 1: gives career advice on her socials two point two million followers.

25
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: Covers topics like resume writing, tackling job interviews, and negotiating salary.

26
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 1: So what are the things if you're listening, if someone's

27
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 1: listening now, what are the things that should be thinking

28
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: about when it comes to really the architecture of a resume? Well,

29
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: the first thing is just keyword is it's making sure

30
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: that you are tailoring your resume to the specific job

31
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 1: that you're applying for. That's definitely the most important thing.

32
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: And then again it's just important to make sure that

33
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: you know how you're submitting a resume. Is it going

34
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: to go through an applicant tracking system like an HS

35
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: where you need to make sure a computer can read

36
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: it really clearly, or if it's going directly to a human,

37
00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: you need to make sure that it's really really readable

38
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: and that it doesn't have any typos and that it

39
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: communicates who you are very clearly. What about you know,

40
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: someone fresh out of school, fresh out of college, with

41
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: no real experience, but they need to write up something

42
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: to submit, what do you suggest you know it's Funny.

43
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: People always say, you know, how do I make a

44
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: resume with no experience? But then when I talk to them,

45
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: I find out that they have all these experience. You know,

46
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: they did Extracurricularis they babies that? I think it's important

47
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 1: for people to remember that everybody had a first resume,

48
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: and your resume doesn't need to be super crowded or

49
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: jam packed. It just needs to show who you are.

50
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: So I would encourage people to think about volunteered experience, extracurriculars, travel,

51
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: interest hobbies, online courses, and get creative with the experience

52
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: that they have in the resume. And do you think

53
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 1: that employers are going and checking everyone's social media like

54
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: they're looking at the resume, that they're going to look

55
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: at their social media feeds? Mhm. Absolutely absolutely prepared to

56
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 1: be googled. People to look up your Instagram. It's just

57
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: human nature. They're just gonna go online and they're gonna

58
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: look up your name. So do you want to delete stuff?

59
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,239
Speaker 1: In some cases? Yeah, I mean you can't believe, but

60
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: maybe private your accounts. Um, you definitely want to be

61
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: googling yourself regularly and making sure you like what you see.

62
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: And before we go This is air m Golf. She

63
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 1: is a career advisor a raise. This is sort of

64
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: shifting gears. But we talk to people often on this

65
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: show that are about to go in and ask their

66
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: boss for a raise, and they're just not quite sure

67
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: the right approach. What do you recommend? How I think

68
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 1: when you go into the meeting, don't think about yourself. Instead,

69
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: think about your boss or manager and all the things

70
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,679
Speaker 1: that they have on their plate, and what you can

71
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: do to make this an easy process for them. You know,

72
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: lay out all the responsibilities that you have, what's changed

73
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: since your last raise. Really make your case, but also

74
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: be human with them. Tell them you know, this is

75
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: what I need in order to fairly reflect the work

76
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: that I'm doing. Also, don't ask for a raise, ask

77
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: for a salary adjustment. You're not asking for them to

78
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: do you any favors. You're just asking through your salary

79
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: to more fairly reflect the work that you're doing. Okay,

80
