Lecture 11 04:01

The on-going debate about how many pages a Resume should consist of is probably endless and as old as Resumes themselves. In this lecture, we'll discuss possible perspectives on this topic in order to help you chose a strategy that works for you.

Lecture 12 01:51

Not every advice you get regarding Resume writing might work for you.
The motto regarding Resumes is "Stay real!" and I'll discuss in this lecture why this is important to keep in mind in order to not get demotivated.

Section 5: Basic Design Principles to keep in mind before we start Lecture 13 02:01

Some might think that design is waste of time and a bunch of marketing juice.
Let me explain you why they are dead wrong and how you can use this to your advantage...

Lecture 14 02:17

This basic design principle is implanted in our minds already in a very young age.
I would like to emphasize once more why it is so important to follow in the business world, including Resumes...

Lecture 15 02:54

Misaligned elements or text are one of the top reasons for a Resume to look unprofessional.
I'll show you a couple of basic rules to keep in mind which will let you feel safe while creating your Resume.

Lecture 17 01:24

I bet you know already not to use the font type "Comic Sans MS" for your Resume, right? ;)
In this lecture, will go one step further in helping you to make the right font style decisions for your Resume.

Lecture 18 01:38

In this lecture, I'll explain you what I mean by the "Principle of Repetition"

Just a hint regarding my PowerPoint version, before we continue...

Section 6: Lets create a Resume for a Project Manager in PowerPoint Lecture 20 02:00

As a first step, I'll introduce in detail how the resulting Resume for the Project Manager looks like
and discuss a bit about his general profile in order for you to get an idea who he is.
We'll also cover why this does have an influence on design decisions and
why you should think about this when creating your own Resume.

Lecture 21 10:21

First, we'll chose the right color scheme for our Project Manager Resume.
Then we'll chose the right font types & styles.

Lecture 22 10:16

In order to provide a kind of border frame for the main content,
we'll start with the header & footer sections of the Resume first as they're (mostly) the same on every slide anyway.

Lecture 23 05:52

Now we'll add the general info section for the Project Manager Resume.

Lecture 24 05:54

Then we'll continue by adding the education section which will complete the first slide of the Resume.

Lecture 25 11:08

As we'll need some more space for the work experience section, we'll put that on a separate 2nd slide.

Lecture 26 11:48

Finally, we'll go over to the skills section including a neat and easy to create graphical representation for skill levels.

Lecture 27 05:50

As a last point, we'll add language skills in order to finalize the Resume for the Project Manager applicant.

Section 7: Lets create a Resume for a Web Developer in PowerPoint Lecture 28 04:31

As a first step, I'll introduce in detail how the resulting Resume for the Web Developer looks like

why you should think about this when creating your own Resume.

Lecture 34 02:57 As a last point, we'll add language skills in order to finalize the Resume for the Project Manager applicant. Section 8: Exporting your Resume from PowerPoint Lecture 35 Text

I bet for 90% of you, the question of which file format to attach to your job application is a no-brainer.
Just to be sure the other 10% gets it right, I added this lecture... ;)

Lecture 36 2 pages

Depending on your version of PowerPoint,
there are two different click paths to export your resume as a PDF File from PowerPoint.

I will introduce you to both of them in this 1 page PDF guide I made for you.

Lecture 37 03:22

It can happen sometimes that the file size of your Resume PDF File
will be too big to attach to an email or upload to a job application portal.

I created this lecture for exactly this case and will show you
how to reduce the file size of your PDF Resume directly in PowerPoint.

Section 9: Resume Review Best Practices Lecture 38 03:10

Typos and other obvious mistakes are the number one reason for Resumes to hit the trash bin before even being read to the end! In order to avoid this you should invest some extra time in your Resume review.

Section 10: Course Wrap-Up Lecture 39 05:21

Before you leave, let's shortly recap what you've learned in the course...
