It's Linda Rainer of linda, rainer dot com, guiding you to a career in life you'll truly enjoy.

And today is a very special video because I have a special guest that will be joining me.

His name is Christopher, and he is here to share his story as to what he did in order to his dream job that he has already started working in.

And I can't wait for him to share his story with me and with you.

So, without further ado, thank you so much for Christopher for joining us here today.

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.

So I started working when I was still in college.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

During that time, it wasn't really satisfied.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

This time I was getting a good amount of interviews.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

Yes, congratulations on the new job, too.

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

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?

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

I would also say, Take your time with it.

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

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.

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

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

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