Today’s recording is from a podcast titled “Secrets of the Job Hunt.” You can guess that the podcast includes a lot of different secrets, not just today’s resume tricks. If you’re looking for a job, it might be a good idea to get some English listening practice and tips at the same time!
Because your resume—and your application in general—is the very first thing that companies see from you, it’s important that you make it as good as you can. Today, we’re going to listen to only a little bit of the advice that Secrets of the Job Hunt included under the title of “Resumes that pack a punch.”
A word of warning: the host of the podcast speaks very quickly and you might want to listen to the podcast twice to understand what he’s saying.
After You’ve Listened to the Recording
It was a lot of information in a very short amount of time. Did you need to listen twice? Some of the advice included in the recording struck me as. . . unusual. I don’t know if I’d ever use quotes or what they called ‘testimonials’ in a resume if I were looking for a job. Would you? What advice from this podcast would you use? How much of what you learned listening to this is advice you can use in your culture?
