Okay, guys, welcome everyone.

So, like I said, for all those that have just recently joined this live training and Q and a session is to share with you my exact tips on what you need to do to land your dream job.

Um, and so you know what?

I think we're just gonna get started now that we're in And yes, keep sending in your dream job titles and, um, and your locations. 00:07:46.060 --> 00:08:1.560 Okay, So a lot of people that have watched a lot of people watch my YouTube videos, have studied them well and successfully landed jobs using my interview and resume techniques, and that makes me so happy. 00:08:1.790 --> 00:08:9.350 Um, but there are also people, um, who I have spoken to who have tried to use my techniques. 00:08:9.440 --> 00:08:13.490 And this is just them purely relying on my YouTube videos.

Okay, so that's first thing.

They didn't get help from me one on one.

But there are some people who have tried to use my techniques.

They'll watch my videos and they're still finding that they're not getting the results they want on DSO.

I decided that I wanted to go on this live training Thio, talk to you guys a little bit more about that because there's a good reason for why, for some of you it's not working, okay?

Because finding a job isn't about following a template.

And as you notice in some of my videos, although us I try to be a strategic as possible when it comes to talking about, um, you know, how do you put yourself in front of employers?

And how do you position yourself strategically having brand yourself? 00:08:53.530 --> 00:09:1.240 I mean, these are all internal concepts that you need to really understand before you can apply the technical step by step. 00:09:1.360 --> 00:09:3.280 Uh, really. 00:09:3.310 --> 00:09:12.340 But it's tough but steps that, uh that you can implement see the internal happens first, and the external is just sort of an afterthought.

And it's easy to think that if you just follow certain template or that, you know, you say a certain thing, that that's enough to get your job.

But I can tell you and you know your stuff now that you've been looking for a while, that there's a lot of competition out there and trying to find a job.

When you're, you know, in competition with who knows, 10 2030 105 100 other people, you know you have to be able to stand out in a certain way.

And so it's not just about saying the right thing, and it's not just about having, you know, a decent looking resume.

It's, um it's really about having, you know, top notch, top notch resume and knowing exactly how you're gonna position yourself in the interview. 00:09:55.610 --> 00:10:8.700 So what I mean by this, um, is that the way that you'll answer an interview question will be different from the way that another person answers it. 00:10:8.710 --> 00:10:17.050 Even if you're following my strategy in my techniques, because obviously you have a unique experience and achievements.

But most importantly, it's also about how you're connecting with the employers.

Um, it's about your energy, the vibe that you're giving off and the way that you're being perceived by them.

And so this is what I mean.

When I talk about personal brand, it's all about knowing how to sell yourself effectively.

And if you don't know how to do it, you won't get past that first round of interviews, no matter how many interview invites you get.

I mean, I even had a client who over the last two years on his own he had over 40 interviews and he came to me saying, I've turned over 40 interviews in the last two years.

Why do I still not have a job? 00:10:58.910 --> 00:11:0.750 And I was asking him the same thing. 00:11:0.750 --> 00:11:3.070 To be honest, why did he not have a job? 00:11:3.120 --> 00:11:4.720 Um, he had 40 interviews. 00:11:4.720 --> 00:11:5.930 How could you not land a job? 00:11:6.130 --> 00:11:11.730 And what I discovered once I, you know, look closer at his resume and looked at Hiss?

Um, look at the way he was positioning himself and talking about himself off in his interview questions and answers.

It was really about him not knowing how to sell himself effectively.

And it really starts from start to finish.

It starts from the resume all the way through down to the final job interview.

So you need to be able to do this.

So things I'm gonna share with you today are probably things you heard before.

But I'm gonna, you know, try to be as clear with with them as possible so that you guys really hopefully can take away some nice nuggets of wisdom for yourself and be able to apply that to yourself in your job search.

All right, so let me know if this sounds get for you.

I'd love Thio here.

How you guys are doing right now. 00:11:59.770 --> 00:12:1.230 Um, I'll be honest. 00:12:1.370 --> 00:12:5.250 The, uh the comments are legs. 00:12:5.250 --> 00:12:17.250 So for whatever reason, I'm not seeing everything come up lives, which I guess is normal because I'm a bit ahead of you guys, but let me know.

Does this sound good?

Are you guys ready to hear my tips?

Say yes.

If you are what seem Come in.

Who knew?

Let's see it, guys.

All right.

I can't see. 00:12:59.490 --> 00:13:0.460 I can't see. 00:13:0.910 --> 00:13:3.030 Uh, them all coming up right away. 00:13:3.040 --> 00:13:3.780 But that's okay. 00:13:3.780 --> 00:13:7.550 I trust that you're all saying yes right now because I know you guys can hear me. 00:13:7.940 --> 00:13:10.700 All right, so let's get started.

Okay, So here are my exact steps for getting your ideal job offer.

So let us get started.

Here are my exact steps first.

Okay.

You guys can numb.

You guys can start, right?

I mean, if you want to, you can write in the notes, Um, and or in the trat um too.

Be clear on what you're You know, if you want to take notes, if you don't have time to take your own notes elsewhere or write your own notes EPPS elsewhere, you can just write it in the comments and refer to it after, but the first step to creating a top, uh, creating. 00:13:56.240 --> 00:14:0.550 Well, the first step, okay, is to create a top notch resume. 00:14:2.380 --> 00:14:6.040 So let me ask you guys this question. 00:14:6.040 --> 00:14:9.820 And actually, now I can start to see I'm starting to see your comments, which is exciting.

So I want to ask you guys, you know, how long do you think it?

It used to take me when I was a recruiter because I was recruited for three and 1/2 years.

How long it used to take me to read a resume.

I'll let you guys guess for five seconds.

Um, but basically, that time that I'll let you guess, is exactly the same amount of time that it took me to read a resume and let let me in.

Mind you, I wasn't necessarily reading because nobody reads resume.

It's, um, not any single recruiter I've I really worked with ever, really, truly read a resume in the sense of, you know, going in detail and looking up exactly what it is that you wrote on that paper.

Because what it is is that they're really scanning. 00:14:59.170 --> 00:15:2.960 Okay, When a recruiter Ahhh are major, an employer is looking at a resident. 00:15:2.960 --> 00:15:8.960 What they're doing is they're simply just scanning, taking quick scroll through the resume. 00:15:8.960 --> 00:15:14.420 And within that five seconds, they're determining if you are going to be interviewed or not.

If you're gonna be put away into the trash bin or if you're gonna be put on top of that to be interviewed pile, okay?

And so what you need to realize is that your resume is so key in getting you in that door.

But it's not just about getting you in that door, either, because beyond that, it's not just the recruiter or the hiring manager or sorry, it's not the recruiter or that HR person that's going to be looking at your resume along.

You know, once you get into that first round interview, yes, it might just be the HR personal looking at your resume.

But beyond that, if you get to the second round, guess who's gonna be looking at it.

The hiring manager. 00:15:52.980 --> 00:16:2.800 It could be the manager of the senior manager, Whoever you're you'd be reporting into, Um and then it could be, uh, yeah. 00:16:2.810 --> 00:16:5.070 Now I'm seeing some people say two minutes, five minutes. 00:16:5.080 --> 00:16:5.500 Awesome. 00:16:5.710 --> 00:16:9.880 Um, on beyond that, let's say it's 1/3 round interview. 00:16:9.880 --> 00:16:13.230 Could be a director that could be reading your resume.

So it's really not about just passing that first interview, and this is the common mistake that I find a lot of people think.

Well, just like the client I had, he had 40 interviews, and he's like, Oh, you don't you know you don't need to help me with my rest May and I knew that I did, because what was happening was that even though he's getting his foot in the door, it was not enough to get him into second round.

It was not enough to get him into third round.

And that's why he was getting cut off after the first round.

Interviews because or the second round interviews that ISS.

Because once a new set of eyes looked at that resume, they realized that he just wasn't a top notch candidate.

And that's why it's so important to create a top notch resume.

So now you're probably asking, Okay, how do you know if your resume right now is top notch?

Well, you're gonna want to ask yourself a few questions, you know? 00:16:59.680 --> 00:17:2.390 Firstly, are you getting interviews? 00:17:2.840 --> 00:17:6.370 Okay, that's obviously a man obvious question to ask. 00:17:6.380 --> 00:17:10.740 And if you're not getting interviews, then obviously that's a clear sign that you're not.

You don't have a top notch resume now.

The second question, though, is that even though you're getting interviews, are you making it to the second and third round and then just not landing the job offer or are you stopping after the first round of interviews?

Um, and what you have to realize.

But that is that there could be two reasons why you may not be getting past the first round.

So the first reason is because your resume is just not good enough to get past Once they actually had a closer look at the resume in the interview.

Or secondly, um, it was that, uh the way you interviewed in that first interview, which will talk about later, wasn't good enough.

So now you guys are probably thinking Okay, So what does this mean? 00:17:58.640 --> 00:18:0.190 How do I create a top notch resume? 00:18:1.840 --> 00:18:11.030 What you need to realize is, in order to have a top notch resume, the first thing you need to do is to tailor your resumes to the job description.

I had someone e mailed me when I sent of that survey.

For anyone who want to ask me questions, someone asked me, Do I have to change my resume every single time I apply for a job?

The answer is absolutely Yes, you do, because you have to reflect your resume to the job that you're applying for.

If you aren't doing that, Yeah, it's already, you know, big mistake.

Number one you can't send one random resume across 100 different jobs that have slightly different duties that all are slightly different titles as well.

You just I can't do that.

You have to tailor your resume to the job description.

Someone's asking me.

Can you talk later about cover letter opening saying OK, I'll tell you right now, I never looked at a cover letter when I was a recruiter. 00:18:54.620 --> 00:19:3.280 I know cover letters are important, but it really depends on the, you know, the level that you're going for if you're going for a real senior position. 00:19:3.500 --> 00:19:16.220 Um, you know, maybe you manager, director manager even I mean, above the cover letter I find just was not as important was really more about through a resume and your experience.

Um so Okay, so back to the resume the other day I was helping a client who's a sales director at a global technology company, and he wants to be able to move from his company to a more software digital company, and he wanted to take on a VP of sales role.

So what we had to do was we had to Taylor in a way that someone who was hiring for VP of sales, not a director of sales, but a VP of sales position.

Would look at his resume and say, Yeah, keeps interview material And we had to position him in the resume in a way that, you know, his experience reflected that of someone who's a VP. 00:19:58.540 --> 00:20:0.390 Now, one thing to note. 00:20:0.400 --> 00:20:1.330 We did not lie. 00:20:1.340 --> 00:20:2.230 We do not embellish. 00:20:2.230 --> 00:20:3.510 We did not make up anything. 00:20:3.680 --> 00:20:6.050 No, it was not at all about that. 00:20:6.140 --> 00:20:21.580 What it was was about being able to being able to position the resume, uh, being able to position the resume to the role on dhe without, you know, changing titles or anything like that.

Still keeping everything authentic and clear.

But just being able to do that.

Um, so you have to make sure that it's really Taylor.

Now, Secondly, are you including achievements in your resume?

So you need to have a separate area underneath your job responsibilities that indicates your achievements.

And so achievements are anything where you've helped the company to save time, save money.

Okay, so I just saw a comment I don't think resumes ours important second or third round interviews.

Um, that's fine.

You can think that I disagree, because I know that in a second round interview with around interview, you're generally interviewing with different people. 00:20:59.440 --> 00:21:8.100 And so within each of those interviews, the individual whose interview you will still want a look at your resume so the HR person might have passed you. 00:21:8.200 --> 00:21:15.180 But this second round, third round interview they might not pass you because they look and they look at your resume and they realised, Actually, it's not.
