Hey guys, thanks for watching :) - What's 1 thing you think you're going to add/edit on your resume after this video?
I will be editing my bullet points to make them more powerful and will be adding and extracurricular/skills section.
I'll be editing my skills and interests section to add a few interesting facts about myself and all 3 languages that I speak!
I just added a volunteering section and quantified all my skills
Are you an international student?
Thank you. It would have been better if you have provided that template for us in the description. đ
Hey bro, I'm not sure if you'll see my comment but I want to thank you sooo much for all the quality videos that you have uploaded onto this channel, including this very video, which helped me craft my resume in the first place. Like you, I didnt have a super high GPA and did not have much relevant experience/work experience. Having said that, I had my interview today with KPMG for operations consulting and I got a call back from HR an hour later. Im starting next year in Feb. Thanks again!!! :D
Bro congrats, I am so happy for you and grateful I was able to help đđđ good luck man, make the most out of it!!
Howâd you go about that? I have a 3.1 and working as a full time cost accountant while in my final year of school. Iâll graduate in May with a degree in accounting and finance. Iâm just not sure how to get that interview with my current gpa
This is such a great video- gets to the point and goes through every section, and mostly importantly it doesn't BS!
Thank you for this!! I'm excited to see what is next for me in my career
This is the best CV video Iâve ever watched.

Great work, really insightful & useful.
This video /premiere was really thoughtful and interesting. You did a great job in proving the key points rather than exaggerating.
Amazing !!!
Thanks Abdul! What's your main key takeaway from the video? :)
That was such an insightful video, Mahdi! I really appreciate the vulnerability it required to share all that with us! In addition to the points mentioned in the video, did networking also play a key factor for you? If so I'd love to watch a video or two about effective networking techniques!
God bless you for such a Direct and productive video!!! Your tips are legit!!! Thank you for giving this advice for free!!đđ
dude you gotta do more of this conversation type format, it really felt like i was with you and talking about our resumes while we analyzed yours together. Love it!

"Different is better than, better" SO TRUE!!

It's a great video man!
Thank you for the excellent video
Love your work man...

Awesome video! One question I have is does your better titles match your LinkedIn as well?
Hi, Nice Video !!! Did you add a cover letter for your application?
came to play it , then realized itâs yet having been downloaded haha , Iâm a sucker for your content hahah
It was in Premiere!! Thanks so much for watching! ;)
hey! :D cant wait ^^
Thanks bro!!
Whatâs the difference between Strategy and Management consulting ? I thought they were the same until I read this vidâs description. Thanks
Hi Mahdi,
In the video, you state that these are part time student jobs that require no experience. Iâm just curious as to how you got your âfoot in the doorâ with the Nespresso job? I was knocked back from two casual Boutique positions in Sydney. And they were unable to provide feedback.
Thanks! đ
Good day, not really able to access the templates provided. The templates are either not sent to the mail, or not just responding at all. Please help rectify. Thanks, best regards.
Brother Mahdi, i am in 3rd year with my major Accounting. I didnât do any internship. Just worked at a Dunkinâ. What should i do now? Like which field should i focus on and job?
I have interview in a week. Eagerly waiting for this video..
Good luck with your interview Lavender!! Let us know how it goes!
@@independentconsultant surely. Keep me in your prayers, I will update as soon I get an update.
@@arpithamanda For sure!! Looking forward to it!
Hi Mahdi,
Was your Nespresso job a brand ambassadorial type job or were you working at a boutique? It sounds like it was an ambassadorial type role from what youâre saying in the video.
Iâm struggling to get my foot in the door having never worked before, with no work experience. I have also not started my degree yet. Any advice to get my foot in the door so that I can use that experience later on?
Regards,
How you have set the guidelines in MS word? I mean margins and all? can you please tell me.
Hey man, thank you so much for this. What do you think about posting your picture on your CV!
Depends on where you live, but in North America, never do it
I have relevant experience from mid tier firms, I would be applying for a senior role. Should I put my work experience before or after my education section?
I'am graduating after 2 months. I was rejected in Pwc Summer Internship however I have trained for 3 years in Public Accounting and also I got a bank Summer Internship. These Experinces were written in my resume in addetion to my skills. What shoud I do?
You have so many different videos that showcase various ways of structuring your cv. What is the correct one?
Hello buddy, I enjoyed your video. I would like to ask what you think about highlighting skills learnt from university in the education section with examples, such as 'Collaborated in teams and presented in front of large audience and academic lectures which have improved confidence and communicational skills' which could highlight the importance of such skills to be relevant to perhaps a sales and or consulting position, which do require said skills? Most university careers department try to establish the importance of skills learnt from modules.
Thanks
Hey Harmeet! What I usually do with students with not a lot of experience is extract actual projects they've done in University and put them in the Achievements section. This way it looks like real projects with real bullets and real skills to show off. It's a better section to do it than the education section where everything you put is kinda broad. You want to be as specific as possible!
Can you explain for freshers resume please give me some ideas for my future.
Is there any problem with no photograph on the resume?
Great video, I have applied to Nespresso here in Sydney. Iâm trying to follow your career path into consulting. My degree would likely be mechanical engineering or electrical and electronic engineering.
Iâm hoping this Nespresso position will help me later, and that I get the job. Any tips on landing it?
Hey what's up actually i am a pharmacy graduate if i will write that i am a pharmacy graduated .. so it will affect my consulting resume? Please tell
Thanks a lot for your advices Mahdi but what about a cover letter when you havn't a less then one year experience please
Cover letters are tricky, sometimes they get read, sometimes not but your objective remains the same no matter your experience level: add more info that is not available on your resume/LinkedIn to differentiate yourself. Tell the company why you want to work for them specifically and how you fit with the role
Hey can i add my father business working as an experience in my cv? he is a sole trader and i have tradr certificate to verify that
Hello Mahdi sir, this is Nithish Paul from Bangalore, Your videos are truly helpful and informative. I seek your personal help and advice, am an upcoming Graduate. Wish to apply and receive offers either for internships or full-time jobs from (BCG, McKinsey, Bain) and also(Deloitte,PWC, KPMG, and EY), Could you help me out with respect to the Indian job market standards, in the best possible ways.
Awaiting your reply.
Thank you.
Good points but do not take out the Ms office skill. Itâs normally mentioned in the job requirements and ats will scan for it
Such a great video( Format and content), thank you!
I have a quastion: If I'm interested in consulting, I think voluntreering and social activities shouldn't be in the CV. If not, how am I supposed to put them? Thanks
Thanks Chaimae! Why do you say they shouldn't be included? If your volunteering/social activities show off relevant skills to becoming a consulting, you include them. If you have more volunteering experience than projects, change the Achievement/Projects section to Achievements & Volunteering!
@@independentconsultant I was preparing my CV for a strategy consulting and I was told that it's not coherent with my social experience.
As you said I'm gonna filter the experiences depending on the consulting skills. Many thanks
@@chaimaelhnd9639 Exactly! Only show what's relevant to your target role - let me know if you have other questions Chaimae :)
Got it! Appreciate it
@@chaimaelhnd9639 you're welcome!!
Thank you so much, Mahdi! I have four years of experience and my current resume is two pages in length. Should I make it one instead??
Ask yourself: is everything you included sell you in a distinctive way for your target position? Most of the time you'll see that have less but more powerful information is better than too much information but not that powerful! I would make it one page when possible!
@@independentconsultant Youâre a superior! Thank you so much. I hope I can make it one day with one of the big 4 *fingers crossed*
Hello, I am a full time international student in the UK. How would you showcase this on your CV? Living & studying abroad is a life changing experience...
Definitely! I would add it in the description of your bachelor degree!
Hey !
Thank you.Did you write cover letter for the same?
Nope! Only a CV
So excited
How did you find the video? :)
@@independentconsultant Awesome,I will add skills and Interest Section in my Resume.
@@syedarshadhussaini3761 isn't it a great section! Thanks! :)
@@independentconsultant Yes!
Please send me template for the same
BOOO Real Madrid!!
Up the reds! Glory Glory Man United! :)
Thanks for the video!
Thank you Sir â„ïž
You're welcome Mayuresh!
@@independentconsultant Is it allowed to mention client company name if we work as consultant there ?
@@mayureshatole Nope! You should never mention clients' names! Mention only their industries.
@@independentconsultant thank you đ
@@mayureshatole you're welcome!
To think these videos are free đ€Żđ€Żđđœ
Thanks @BassFraud - I do the same thing in my coaching program đ
Bro, you attended the 30th top-rated university in the world, you do not need anything else to enter PWC. Can You maybe make a video about your time and experience at McGill University?
Good idea! (But you need more than University name to get into PwC)
@@independentconsultant Yes sure, it is a little bit exaggerated. But a video about this topic would be great! And also tell us how you entered such a great university. Thanksâđœ
lol Pwc is more competetive than McGill
Hi Sir, what a great insight!! I have a question if you don't mind.
When it comes to professional experience, the HR Team normally ask for Letter of Reference. What's your perspective if you have a Rejection Letter from the previous employer? Rejection Letter is kinda substitution for Letter of Reference and it'd be given to the one who resigned during busy season or resign below one month notice. Shall we just show the Rejection Letter to the future employer or just hide it? Do you think that HR will throw away our application?
Because we worked for public accounting firm or consulting firm that has high employee turn over and not a few of us encounter that situation.
Really appreciate for your insight and looking forward for your feedback, Sir.
Really depends where you're located. Here in North America, they might ask for references but usually you can give specific names of bosses or colleagues. If you were laid off or anything it's good to mention it during the interview process while giving a good reason behind it so it's not a surprise. I don't think you can hide it since most companies will do a background check. So better to be straightforward with it.
â@@independentconsultant Yeah, I do believe it. Hoping that everything will be fine after all. Really appreciate your point of view. Many thanks Sir!!
@@novitachandraa you're welcome :)
How did u fit all info in 1 page? What if I have worked in 8 different organizations?) Is 3 page resume ok?
For more experienced workers it's ok!
@@independentconsultant Thank you so much for your prompt answer. Can You review my CV and make corrections? I will pay. Want to get interviewed outside of my homeland, never did)
@@johnny4kk send me an email: hello@primalcareer.com !
Do you have a downloadable template for this resume?
Hey Samira! You can find the template to download in the description!
@@independentconsultant canât find it
@@rachitbalani9752 it's the Landing a Job Guide!
@@independentconsultant yup I know but I canât find the template Iâd you can send me it would be a big help sir
@@independentconsultant Hi Mahdi, I have downloaded the Landing a Job Guide, but there is no attached template. Would you be able to share the editable template for this resume? Greatly appreciate it, thanks!
About your job experiences, are they real or you made them up? Need advice, thanks!
They are real! Don't lie on your resume haha
chill with the ads man lol, was interrupted like 5 times
15:45
4:18 software engineers... creative? Surely you jest
Looks completely cluttered. I wouldn't hire you for a job in LIDL's, let alone PwC. Probably got there on a diversity quota.
