And it's not something we talk about that much because...

I mean, our bread and butter is personal finance.

So it's great to get people that are experts in the field working in HR and recruiting, which is not something I have any experience in myself, except being someone that's gone through that process before.

So it's good to talk to people on the other side of it about how they look at it.

And so all of our listeners who are potentially job candidates, and I mean, most of us are probably working, can get an idea of what to look for when you're going through that process.

Well to kick off i'd love to talk a bit about resumes and it's maybe sounds like a bit of a boring topic to start with, but I think most of us.

will have had to put a resume together at some point over the last few years and.

for some people it is just have a set template resume just send it off without any thought and maybe once every decade they update it when they apply for a new job but I'd love to get your approach on what are some of the biggest things that you think people have to explore when it comes to resumes and what are some trends you're seeing that people should be aware of at the moment?

And that sounds, that's a really good point because if you don't think about who's actually going to read that resume, you're not going to write it appropriately.

It'd be very different writing a resume to apply at a startup compared to working at Google or one of those massive organizations that have thousands of recruiters.

And one thing I heard was that a lot of recruiters now, because most of our resumes are going online, not getting posted or handed over manually, they'll use keyword searches and things like that to move resumes from the no to the maybe file.

Is that something that happens?

Yeah, that's a good point.

I mean, I hadn't thought about putting a photo on a resume, but it might be something that people have done.

I know I have seen resumes come through with date of births and things like that.

And I'm like, that's a lot of personal information to hand over to someone on the internet on the first glance.

Yeah, and I guess your point about being able to prep your referees is really important.

I mean, I've had one of those random phone calls where your friends provided your details on your behalf and you didn't know about it.

And you're just trying to think of something useful to say when they start asking you questions about a particular role that you don't really know what you want your friend to tell you, what they kind of want you to say, don't you?

Absolutely.
