SPEAKER 1: This video will provide
an overview of the profile and resume building features
in Jobspeaker.
Log into Jobspeaker via the MyChaffey portal.
When first logging in, you'll be prompted
to complete the online profile form.
You'll notice certain fields that are required
as indicated by the asterisk.
The desired job you enter will become the title
of your online profile.
The more fields you complete, the more information
will be added to your profile, and in turn, your resume.
There's a dropdown field where you select the main program
you are taking at Chaffey.
Your cohort would be your expected graduation date.
Lastly, select your job search status.
After completing the online profile form,
you'll be directed to your dashboard.
Click on the Profiles link on the left margin.
You'll see your profile created from that initial online
profile form.
You do have the ability to create multiple profiles
by clicking on the red Add Profile
button on the right-hand corner of your screen.
But for now, let's take a look at your current profile
by clicking on View.
At the top of your profile, the first field
is the profile header.
Click Edit on each section to add or update information.
The information you enter in the summary fields
will appear on your resume as a section often referred to
as the professional summary.
A professional summary is a short description
at the top of your resume that describes your experience,
qualities, and skills.
You can check the box to display your account photo.
However, your photo will not appear on your resume.
Then click Save.
The next section is portfolios and projects.
You can add links to your online portfolios and project
websites.
Add a description of your portfolio or project--
300 characters max.
You can even drop or upload an image
that represents your project.
Here, we're adding the Badger employability
badge for collaboration.
Contact the Career Center for more information
about employability badges.
Once added, you can select which ones to display on your profile
by clicking On.
When you're finished, click Done.
Next is the skills and competency section.
Jobspeaker provides a list based on your skills acquired
through courses which you've completed
associated with your program.
The skills you select from this list
will appear on your resume.
Click Save when done.
Now it's time to add your experience.
Here, you can list current or past jobs, internships,
or volunteer positions.
Not all positions listed in this section
need to be paid positions.
If you don't have any experience,
you can emphasize your education instead in the next section.
Fill in each field for each position and click Save.
For the education section, your program
should already be displayed since this
was selected on the initial online profile form.
If you want to emphasize your education section,
you can add your GPA if 3.5 or above, any awards and honors,
and relevant coursework.
Once you've completed all the sections in your profile,
it is time to create your resume.
You do so by clicking on Print Resume, found just
below your profile header section.
You can also click on Visibility to view the different resume
template options.
After choosing your desired resume template,
select the docx option as this allows for easier editing.
It'll be a few moments before your resume is downloaded.
You can open it to view, but it's also stored
in your documents section.
The Jobspeaker resume writing tool
is intended to help you build the foundation of your resume.
Before you begin using this tool,
here are a few important considerations.
The resume builder is only a tool
intended to assist you with drafting your resume.
This tool will not be able to produce a perfect resume,
but can take you through about 80% to 90% of the process.
Career experts recommend that your resume be specifically
targeted to each new position.
Jobspeaker allows you to create multiple profiles
and save multiple resumes associated with each profile.
For further resume assistance, we have a few options.
One-- email your resume to careercenter@chaffey.edu
for review and feedback.
Or two-- schedule an appointment on Conex CraniumCafe
for resume assistance.
You'll see a side-by-side comparison.
On the left is the resume as it was created from job speaker.
This would be a rough draft.
On the right is the revised version.
There were corrections made to make
the formatting consistent throughout,
bullet points added in the Employment History section.
This allows the reader the ability
to read through and digest the information faster.
Certain resume templates will include sections from
your profile while others won't.
For example, this template includes
interest and co-curriculars.
We removed this from the revised version,
since that section was left blank on the profile.
Remember, you can click on visibility
to view the template options available.
Some may format your resume in a way which
will require less editing.
Again, we do advise that you send your resume
to the Career Center for a review
before sending out to employers.
Please reach out to the Career Center with any questions
about building your profile or resume or any other features
available on Jobspeaker.
We look forward to assisting you.
