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
