所以，廢話不多說，非常感謝Christopher今天的加入。

I'm happy to be here and share my story.

我很高興能在這裡分享我的故事。

So, Christopher, can you just give the audience a bit of an idea as to your background and your work history, Your career path up until this point, Yes.

那麼，克里斯托弗，你能不能讓觀眾瞭解一下你的背景和工作經歷，你的職業道路直到現在，是的。

So I started working when I was still in college.

所以我還在上大學的時候就開始工作了。

I was working full time to be able to support myself to go through college.

我是全職工作，能夠支持自己上大學。

I worked in a company and I was an analyst and the company I was with the company for nine years and I did a lot of the sales operational work, which is analytics to really support the sale team to make them successful.

我在一家公司工作，我是一名分析師，公司我在公司工作了9年，我做了很多銷售營運的工作，就是分析，真正支持銷售團隊，讓他們成功。

I did that.

是我做的

And then what happened was is that the company I was laid off of after working there nine years, So I ended up traveling for a year doing humanitarian work.

然後發生的事情是，我在那裡工作了9年後，公司被解僱了，所以我結束了一年的旅行，做人道主義工作。

So after doing all that, I came back and accepted a role in a company.

所以在做完這些事情後，我回來接受了一家公司的角色。

And the role in the company that I got was very good, but unfortunately, they had to lay me off because they weren't doing that.

而我在公司裡得到的角色是非常好的，但不幸的是，他們不得不把我裁掉，因為他們沒有這樣做。

Well, they're a bit of a startup, just wasn't working.

好吧，他們是一個有點創業的公司，只是沒有工作。

So then I kind of went around applying and I didn't really get anywhere.

所以後來我也算是到處申請，但也沒有什麼進展。

So I took a lesser job That was a little bit less than when I was making at the time, because I had to work somewhere, you know, um, this is before the pandemic.

所以我找了份比較輕鬆的工作 比我當時做的時候要少一點 因為我得在某個地方工作 你知道的 這是在大流行之前的事

It and I worked through this company during the pandemic and did the best I could, and then eventually they ran out of cash flow.

它和我在大流行期間通過這家公司工作，並盡我所能，然後最終他們沒有現金流。

During that time, it wasn't really satisfied.

那段時間，並沒有真正滿足。

So I brought your course, but I didn't really use it.

所以我帶了你的課程，但我並沒有真正使用。

Once I got laid off, I was like, Well, no reason to use your course, and I went through the course and I liked it very much and I learned a lot, and I what I did do the course was I applied what I learned and I was able to get a lot more attraction than I did in the beginning.

有一次我失業了，我當時就想，好吧，沒有理由用你的課程，我通過課程，我非常喜歡，我學到了很多東西，我做的課程是我應用了我所學到的東西，我能夠得到比一開始多很多的吸引力。

I've been realized very quickly.

我很快就實現了。

I won't have to settle for my job, and I end up working on a job now that I'm getting paid the same I was before I left, and that was something.

我不會因為工作而安於現狀，我最終還是在工作上，現在的工資和我離開前一樣，這也是一件好事。

I struggled to reach that level from my last job, So I'm very happy before I'm working now.

我從上一份工作就努力達到這個水準，所以我現在工作前很開心。

I'm very happy with the success I had, and I'm very happy to be where I am, and a lot of it had to do with the course.

我對自己的成功非常滿意，我很高興能有現在的成績，很多都和課程有關。

I believe that's amazing.

我相信這是驚人的。

Thank you for sharing that.

謝謝你的分享。

So let's talk a little bit about the results that you got from taking top notch resume.

那麼，我們就來談一談拿頂級履歷得到的結果吧。

So you said that in the past you had applied for jobs and you weren't really getting interviews.

所以你說，過去你應聘過工作，但你並沒有真正得到面試機會。

And so when you started using your new top notch resume, what were the comments that you were getting from interviewers?

那麼當你開始使用新的頂級履歷時，面試官對你的評價是什麼？

What were you hearing?

你聽到了什麼？

What was what were the results.

結果是什麼呢。

The results are very positive, even on interviews back before the pandemic.

結果是非常積極的，即使是在採訪中回到大流行之前。

It when I was looking, I got a few interviews, but I never passed the first and they were very rare, like it took a long time and a lot of applying that interview.

它當我在尋找，我得到了幾個面試，但我從來沒有通過第一次，他們是非常罕見的，像它花了很長一段時間，很多應用該面試。

This time I was getting a good amount of interviews.

這次我的採訪量很大。

I would say, like, you know, anywhere between three out of 10 in some cases, which is very good.

我會說，像，你知道，任何地方之間的三個10在某些情況下，這是非常好的。

I mean, I think that's very good, and I was getting into when I was making it to the third or fourth level.

我的意思是，我認為這是非常好的，我在做到三四級的時候，我就開始進入了。

A lot of times, even if I didn't get it, some of the feedback I would get from employers was that you have the skills I'm looking for, even the ones I didn't get it.

很多時候，即使我沒有得到，僱主給我的一些反饋也是，你有我要找的技能，即使是我沒有得到的技能。

They still said that, though, and it made me realize, Okay, at least I'm I am what they're looking for, and I'm targeting the right people and everything looks right.

他們還是這麼說，不過，這讓我意識到，好吧，至少我我就是他們要找的人，我的目標是對的人，一切看起來都是對的。

So that was kind of the direction I was going in and a lot of people were very responsive.

所以這也算是我的方向，很多人都很有反應。

They liked my resume, like the format.

他們喜歡我的履歷，喜歡這種格式。

They're happy to interview me, and it just seemed to be very good calls where before it wasn't.

他們很樂意採訪我，而且看起來就是非常好的電話，而以前不是。

And I ended up accepting an offer recently because it was exactly I wanted to do.

而我最近最終接受了一個offer，因為這正是我想做的。

And when I got the author, there was no reason not to accept it.

而當我拿到作者時，沒有理由不接受。

Yes, congratulations on the new job, too.

是的，也恭喜你找到了新工作。

So happy for you.

真為你高興

So you said that, you know, it felt like the interviews were going a lot easier.

所以你說，你知道的，感覺面試要容易很多。

And do you think that it was because of how your resume looks like all of a sudden, people's impression of you changed compared to how they looked at you before?

而你覺得是不是因為你的履歷怎麼看怎麼像，大家對你的印象和之前看你的印象相比一下子就變了？

Oh, yeah.

哦，是的。

When I believe that now they were able to understand exactly what I did and how it related to what they wanted, where before, when I used the professional to help me, which I paid, I'm not gonna sandwich.

當我相信，現在他們能夠準確地理解我所做的事情，以及它與他們想要的東西有什麼關係，之前，當我使用專業人員幫助我時，我付了錢，我不會夾心。

I paid for by paid a lot more than I paid for.

我付出的代價比我付出的多得多。

Of course, it definitely did not give that impression where this time it did.

當然，這次給人的印象絕對不是在哪裡。

That's great.

那太好了

So I think people are really curious, like, you know, you don't have to share everything that you learned in the course because I want people to take the course.

所以我認為人們真的很好奇，比如，你知道，你不必分享你在課程中學到的所有東西，因為我希望人們參加課程。

Top nachos may just like you did in order to learn how to create a great resume.

頂級玉米片可能就像你一樣，為了學習如何創建一個偉大的履歷。

But what do you think was the biggest thing about the course that you realized you were doing wrong Before that?

但你認為在這之前，你意識到自己做錯的最大的課程是什麼？

It made all the difference in you getting your job offer.

這對你獲得工作機會有很大的影響。

I believe it was the format.

我相信是格式。

The format was very easily laid out that anyone common sense can look at it.

這個格式非常容易佈置，任何常識都能看懂。

And then the other reason I would say is that it reverse engineered what the job title I wanted.

然後我想說的另一個原因是，它逆向設計了我想要的職稱。

So it was more of working kind of what I already was looking for and taking the job description and going backwards.

所以更多的是工作種我已經在尋找的東西，然後拿著工作描述往回走。

So it kind of worked that way.

所以，它是那種工作方式。

And I feel like that kind of stood out because I had those skills already.

而我覺得這樣的突出，是因為我已經有了這些技能。

But this time it was laid out the way they want to read it and pointed right in their face.

但這次是按照他們想看的方式擺出來的，而且是直指他們的臉。

And you can't deny it.

你也不能否認這一點。

Yes.

是的，我知道

Amazing.

驚人的。

So can you tell us a little bit?

那你能告訴我們一點嗎？

Christopher What?

克里斯托弗什麼？

What exactly is your new job now?

你現在的新工作到底是什麼？

And I know you just recently started it's probably been only a couple of days, so tell us a little bit about this new job and how you feel about it.

我知道你最近才開始工作，可能才幾天，那麼跟我們說說這份新工作，你有什麼感受。

So far, it's been very good.

到目前為止，它是非常好的。

I've been doing a lot of training.

我已經做了很多訓練。

It's exactly what I wanted to do.

這正是我想做的。

I do a lot of the CRM, which is customer relations, management, entry and analytical work.

我做了很多的CRM，也就是客戶關係、管理、錄入和分析工作。

Sales support.

銷售支持。

That's amazing.

太神奇了

Okay, that's great.

好吧，這是偉大的。

So let's hear about what you would say to people who are listening and watching out there right now who are struggling to get interviews, especially during this pandemic.

所以我們來聽聽你想對現在在外面聽著和看著的人說些什麼，他們正在努力地接受採訪，尤其是在這個流行病期間。

We all feel that it's supposed to be hard to get a job during this pandemic.

我們都覺得，在這個大流行期間，應該是很難找到工作的。

I mean, what would you say to them?

我是說，你會對他們說什麼？

You know, would you recommend that they take top notch resume?

你知道，你會建議他們拿頂級的履歷嗎？

What would your words of advice be?

你有什麼忠告？

Um, I would definitely recommend if you're struggling and you're not getting the results, you want to take top notch resume.

嗯，我一定建議如果你正在努力，你沒有得到結果，你要拿頂級的履歷。

I would also say, Take your time with it.

我還想說，慢慢來吧。

Don't just randomly apply.

不要隨便申請。

Make sure you specifically go for each each job, even if it's exact.

確保你具體去做每一個每一個工作，即使是準確的。

Same job title.

同樣的職稱。

The description is going to be different and make sure it matches that description, and I would say Do everything the course advises and then you're successful.

描述會有所不同，並確保它與該描述相匹配，我想說的是 做一切課程建議，然後你就成功了。

Come, don't give up you know, it's This is just a small part of your life.

來吧，不要放棄，你知道，這只是你生命中的一小部分。

We've all been through things, and eventually something will come up.

我們都經歷過一些事情，最終會有一些事情出現。

Something will change.

有些東西會改變。

You won't be unemployed forever.

你不會永遠失業的。

And if you refuse the course, maybe you'll be unemployed a lot less longer.

而如果你拒絕了這門課程，也許你失業的時間就會少很多。

So you know what?

所以你知道嗎？

Just just take it.

就拿著吧。

Go for it.

去吧

Make sure you just stay focused.

確保你只是保持專注。

That's great.

那太好了

And I'm curious.

我也很好奇

Christopher, how has your confidence level changed?

克里斯托弗，你的信心水準有什麼變化？

You know, from when you were working at that previous job and you got laid off and then you started taking top notch resume and applying.

你知道，從你在之前那份工作的時候，你被裁員了，然後你開始拿著一流的履歷去申請。

And now you've gotten your job offer.

現在你已經得到了你的工作機會。

How different do you feel about yourself?

你覺得自己有什麼不同？

Oh, I feel 110% different.

哦，我覺得110%的不同。

I feel more confident when I go into interviews.

當我去面試時，我覺得更有信心。

I know it's not like my only option.

我知道這不像是我唯一的選擇。

So I don't go in there with, like, a desperate mindset.

所以，我不去那裡，喜歡，絕望的心態。

I think I go in there with more like a mindset like Okay, Is this going to work for both of us?

我想我進去的時候，更多的是抱著一種心態，比如說：好吧，這對我們兩個人都有用嗎？

Do I have the skills?

我有這個技能嗎？

Is something that I can learn.

是我可以學習的東西。

It's just having a good conversation, you know, nothing is perfect, but having a good conversation I would say so, Chris, back when you were looking for a job and you weren't really getting the interviews, you weren't getting the callbacks.

這只是有一個很好的談話， 你知道，沒有什麼是完美的， 但有一個很好的談話 我會這麼說，克里斯， 當你正在尋找一份工作 你是不是真的得到了面試， 你沒有得到回電。

How was that impacting you mentally?

這對你的心理有什麼影響？

Emotionally?

情感上？

How are you feeling about yourself as a job candidate and as a a professional in general, it was not a good feeling, You know, it's one of those things where it's like if you're getting that much rejection, you can't help but take it personally.

你對自己的感覺如何 作為一個求職者和作為一個專業的一般， 這不是一個很好的感覺，你知道，這是那些事情之一，它像 如果你得到這麼多的拒絕， 你不能不採取個人。

You know, I know in life we shouldn't take things personally, but it does.

你知道，我知道在生活中，我們不應該拿東西個人，但它確實。

And, you know, I wasn't very happy with it, and it definitely did a big blow, especially back then.

而且，你知道，我對它不是很滿意，它絕對是一個很大的打擊，尤其是當時。

There wasn't any economic reasons economy was doing well, so that made it even worse.

沒有任何經濟原因經濟好，所以就更糟糕了。

At least now you can argue.

至少現在你可以爭論了。

Oh, it's a pandemic.

哦，這是一個流行病。

Back then there was no reason, and it definitely wasn't a good feeling.

那時候沒有理由，也絕對不是什麼好感覺。

And you know, it's hard, too, because I worked at a company for nine years and I was accustomed to working 50 plus hours, some weeks just because I wanted to grow.

你知道，這也很難，因為我在一家公司工作了9年，我習慣於工作50多個小時，有些星期只是因為我想成長。

You know, I left before I left.

你知道，我在離開之前就離開了。

I was a manager there, so I worked very hard to go from the bottom to the top and to kind of not have anything after working so much was not a good feeling at all.

我在那裡是個經理，所以我很努力地從底層到高層，工作了這麼久什麼都沒有的那種感覺一點都不好。

Right?

對吧？

Right.

好吧，我知道了

And so you put all your energy into taking top notch resume into learning what you needed to learn.

於是你把所有的精力都用在了拿一流的履歷上，學習你需要學習的東西。

Did you find that?

你發現了嗎？

The concepts that you learned in the course we're different from anything that you've heard elsewhere.

你在課程中所學到的概念... ...我們和你在其他地方聽到的任何東西都不一樣。

You know, about how to write your resume, how to sell yourself.

你知道，關於如何寫履歷，如何推銷自己。

Did you find that it was completely different, Or how did you feel about that?

你有沒有發現完全不一樣了，或者你有什麼感覺？

Um, I feel that it was definitely completely different.

嗯，我覺得肯定是完全不同的。

I feel like it was very thorough.

我覺得很徹底。

It was definitely right to the point.

這絕對是對症下藥。

Um, it was format.

嗯，是格式。

It would definitely have good formatting.

這肯定會有很好的格式化。

I have a friend who worked as a recruiter, and I sent her my resume and just said, Oh, could you give it a look over?

我有個朋友是做招聘的，我把履歷發給她，就說，哦，你能不能給我看看？

And she did she give some feedback?

她有沒有給一些反饋？

But the first thing throwback was I love this format.

但首先拋出的是我喜歡這種形式。

She's like, this is the format that every candidate should use.

她說，這是每個候選人都應該使用的格式。

This is the format everyone should you.

這是大家應該你的格式。

And that made me feel much better.

這讓我感覺好多了。

I was like, Okay, that's great.

我當時想，好吧，那太好了。

You know people who work in industries, love looking at it, and I couldn't believe like I remember my After my first week on in November, I ended up getting scheduled for, like, three companies to interview with.

你知道在行業工作的人，喜歡看，我不敢相信像我記得我的 在11月的第一個星期上，我最終被安排了，像，三個公司的面試。

And I thought that was amazing.

我覺得這太神奇了。

And I was like, Wow, that's that's That's fantastic.

我當時想，哇，那是那是 那是太棒了。

Yeah, that's great.

是的，這是很好的。

So when you got those interviews, did you find that it was easy for you to sell yourself in the interview because I have another course top called Top Notch interview, which helps people with interviewing.

那麼當你拿到這些面試的時候，你有沒有發現你在面試中很容易推銷自己，因為我還有一門課程頂級叫Top Notch面試，幫助大家面試。

But you didn't even need that.

但你根本不需要這個。

You just had the top notch resume, and that was enough to carry you through.

你只要有一流的履歷，就足以讓你過關。

Like, did you find that learning what you learned in top notch resume was enough?

比如說，你發現在頂級履歷中學習到的東西就夠了嗎？

You know, if I could go back, I probably would have taken your top notch interview course if, uh, you know, hopefully it doesn't happen.

你知道，如果我能回去，我可能會採取 你的一流的面試課程，如果，呃，你知道， 希望它不會發生。

But if anything goes, I start looking for another job or anything.

但如果有什麼不順心的事，我就開始找別的工作什麼的。

I'll probably go back and take it.

我可能會回去拿。

I think I probably could have needed something some better interviewing skills, thinking about it, but I was able to get to like 3rd, 3rd rounds and other things with with my resume and a lot of it because I had the skill set.

我想我可能需要一些更好的面試技巧的東西，想來想去，但我能夠到像第三，第三輪和其他的東西與我的履歷和很多是因為我有技能。

So you can't really deny when you have the skill set and it's organized in the way with someone looking at resume goes, Oh, they definitely have it, even if you don't take the course you still can't argue with.

所以你真的不能否認，當你有了技能，並且它的組織方式與別人看履歷的方式去，哦，他們肯定有，即使你不參加課程，你仍然不能爭辯。

Okay, this person can do the job, but at the same time, I would still I probably recommend that course.

好吧，這個人可以做這個工作，但同時，我還是我可能會推薦這個課程。

So Christopher's saying, Take top notch resume and top notch interview if you are thinking about it.

所以Christopher的意思是，如果你想好了，就拿一流的履歷和一流的面試。

Well, okay.

好吧，好吧。

I think that we have heard an amazing story from you.

我想，我們已經從你那裡聽到了一個驚人的故事。

Christopher, I am so happy for you.

克里斯托弗，我真為你高興

Congratulations on this new job.

恭喜你找到了新工作

You know, I'm really proud of everything that you've done for yourself, and you've been able to find a job in the middle of this pandemic when lots of people are saying that it's tough.

你知道，我真的為你為自己所做的一切感到驕傲，你已經能夠在這場流行病中找到一份工作，而很多人都說這很艱難。

I mean, at the end of the day, do you feel that the pandemic really has any impact on your job search?

我的意思是，到了最後，你覺得這場大瘟疫對你的求職真的有影響嗎？

Or do you think that at the end of the day, it should just be about your resume?

還是說，到了最後，你覺得應該只是為了你的履歷？

And how you sell yourself should just be about your resume and how you sell yourself, you know, I mean, I understand the pandemic is real and the economy being down is real.

而你如何推銷自己應該只是關於你的履歷和你如何推銷自己，你知道，我的意思是，我明白流行病是真實的，經濟下滑是真實的。

And a lot of people losing jobs and all that stuff is realist.

而很多人失業等等這些都是現實主義的。

You can't deny the fact I just turn on a news station.

你不能否認我只是打開了一個新聞臺。

But I would say is, you know, you can't control those factors.

但我想說的是，你知道，你無法控制這些因素。

Just focus on what you can control it.

只要專注於你能控制它的東西。

Control your resume and your ability to sell yourself.

控制你的履歷和推銷自己的能力。

That's all you can do.
