QUOTES FROM YUVIKA “Whenever you look at a new graduate, they spend hundreds and thousands of dollars on their education, paying off all those student loans, and nobody thinks about those two pages that any employer is going to see when you're, you know, applying for a job.” “Being open to learning or being open to feedback can go a long way.” “Using any kind of tech is good. It's not bad, but then the extent to which you're using, there needs to be a strategy behind it.” TIMESTAMPS 0:00 | Introduction and Background 1:23 | Yuvika’s backstory 5:52 | Updating your resume 10:31 | Percentage between skillset and matching the job ad 14:10 | GitHub Professional Format 19:05 | Tailoring your resume 24:48 | Cover letters 27:45 | Job search timeline 32:42 | Using the right keywords 37:34 | Having the right mindset 59:56 | Overcoming the resume gap 41:53 | Closing   RESOURCES & RELEVANT LINKS Yuvika Iyer on Social Media:Linkedin Chan With A Plan Max Chan on Social Media
