00:00:00,115 --> 00:00:04,260
Hey there, I'm Jenavieve
Treehouses Community Manager and

2
00:00:04,260 --> 00:00:08,881
today I'm going to be showing you
how to edit our two Treehouse resume

3
00:00:08,881 --> 00:00:12,562
templates that are available to you for
free on Canva.

4
00:00:12,562 --> 00:00:16,801
So the first thing you're going to
be brought to is this little page

5
00:00:16,801 --> 00:00:21,345
where it's super easy to just scroll
down and click Use Templates, and

6
00:00:21,345 --> 00:00:24,163
that will bring you
into the Canva website.

7
00:00:24,163 --> 00:00:27,494
Once you're in Canva,
your resume is gonna look like this.

8
00:00:27,494 --> 00:00:30,834
It's gonna be quite zoomed out and
probably really hard to see.

9
00:00:30,834 --> 00:00:35,631
So all you have to do to adjust
the size is slide this little bar

10
00:00:35,631 --> 00:00:40,635
down here in order to make the resume
larger or smaller like so.

11
00:00:40,635 --> 00:00:43,331
Our resume is totally customizable, and

12
00:00:43,331 --> 00:00:47,344
all you have to do is fill in all
of your personal information.

13
00:00:47,344 --> 00:00:51,784
So obviously, if you want to change
the color of this background,

14
00:00:51,784 --> 00:00:56,539
you can do so, you can put in your own
photo, you can edit your name, and

15
00:00:56,539 --> 00:00:58,787
fill in all of your information.

16
00:00:58,787 --> 00:01:01,957
We have two resume
templates available to you.

17
00:01:01,957 --> 00:01:06,980
One is for the developer with
little to no experience.

18
00:01:06,980 --> 00:01:12,998
So that focuses more on the projects you
worked on and your personal hobbies.

19
00:01:12,998 --> 00:01:17,757
And our alternative resume template is for
the coder that has

20
00:01:17,757 --> 00:01:22,523
more experience and
really focuses on your job experience.

21
00:01:22,523 --> 00:01:27,632
This template is our new or
beginner coder template.

22
00:01:27,632 --> 00:01:31,009
As you can see,
we have projects front and center.

23
00:01:31,009 --> 00:01:34,445
Then if you scroll down,
you can add your personal experience.

24
00:01:34,445 --> 00:01:37,504
You don't have to add just
coding experience here.

25
00:01:37,504 --> 00:01:41,986
It's important to note that lots of
experience has relevance in coding,

26
00:01:41,986 --> 00:01:43,734
it's just how you frame it.

27
00:01:43,734 --> 00:01:46,500
So put your most relevant
work experience and

28
00:01:46,500 --> 00:01:49,640
don't worry about if it's coding-based or
not.

29
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,633
On the side here, you'll see you
can enter in your interests, and

30
00:01:53,633 --> 00:01:58,577
make sure to put interests that would be
interesting to a potential interviewer.

31
00:01:58,577 --> 00:02:02,797
So don't say something
like baking cookies.

32
00:02:02,797 --> 00:02:08,148
You wanna have it make you look
intelligent, interested in learning,

33
00:02:08,148 --> 00:02:13,243
and someone that's constantly
working on improving themselves.

34
00:02:13,243 --> 00:02:15,062
Then you'll scroll down and

35
00:02:15,062 --> 00:02:20,301
you can see there's a space to enter in
your languages and your different skills.

36
00:02:20,301 --> 00:02:24,461
Your hard skills are the actual tangible
skills that you know about coding and

37
00:02:24,461 --> 00:02:25,360
that you can do.

38
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:30,446
And soft skills are more based in
how you work with the team and

39
00:02:30,446 --> 00:02:33,946
who you are as a person and
as an employee.

40
00:02:33,946 --> 00:02:38,139
This is our alternative resume that's for
the more experienced coder.

41
00:02:38,139 --> 00:02:42,726
So you see, over here, we have experience
instead of projects, and it focuses

42
00:02:42,726 --> 00:02:47,189
strictly on experience, and it has
a small section for projects in the side.

43
00:02:47,189 --> 00:02:50,662
If you're a more experienced coder, and
you feel more attracted to the other

44
00:02:50,662 --> 00:02:52,914
resume, definitely,
go ahead and use that one.

45
00:02:52,914 --> 00:02:56,697
This is up to you and
it's totally customizable.

46
00:02:56,697 --> 00:03:01,666
The next thing I'm gonna walk you
through is how you can customize

47
00:03:01,666 --> 00:03:06,196
your Treehouse resume template
to be personalized to you.

48
00:03:06,196 --> 00:03:08,559
So as you've seen me scroll around,

49
00:03:08,559 --> 00:03:12,533
you see everything be highlighted
by this little purple box.

50
00:03:12,533 --> 00:03:17,291
All you have to do to activate these
little purple boxes is just click on

51
00:03:17,291 --> 00:03:22,713
something and then you can start typing
your own text and editing it as you will.

52
00:03:22,713 --> 00:03:27,051
Another thing you can customize is
the colors that are used on the template.

53
00:03:27,051 --> 00:03:32,235
So say you're not super interested in
green, you can click on it, click on

54
00:03:32,235 --> 00:03:37,765
Color, and then change it to a new color
that you're more interested in using.

55
00:03:37,765 --> 00:03:42,499
One thing I do recommend though is
if you're going to change this color

56
00:03:42,499 --> 00:03:47,395
here the text color that highlights
the various parts of your document is

57
00:03:47,395 --> 00:03:51,674
specifically designed to match
the color of this banner here.

58
00:03:51,674 --> 00:03:57,045
So just make sure that everything
is changed and looking cohesive.

59
00:03:57,045 --> 00:04:02,639
Another thing I get a lot of questions
about is updating your photo right here.

60
00:04:02,639 --> 00:04:04,053
It's super simple.

61
00:04:04,053 --> 00:04:08,494
So all you have to do is drag and
drop a photo into Canva,

62
00:04:08,494 --> 00:04:12,757
whichever photo you wanna
use as your resume photo.

63
00:04:12,757 --> 00:04:18,681
Then you click on uploads here and
you can drag and drop a new photo.

64
00:04:18,681 --> 00:04:21,852
Here you can see I have
a color photo right here.

65
00:04:21,852 --> 00:04:23,973
If you'd like that that's totally great.

66
00:04:23,973 --> 00:04:29,839
And if you wanna make it black and white
like I have in the original template or

67
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:34,238
you're gonna do is press Edit photo and
scroll down, and

68
00:04:34,238 --> 00:04:36,639
you can put some filters on it.

69
00:04:36,639 --> 00:04:41,124
That one doesn't look that good, and
if you wanna go down and make it black and

70
00:04:41,124 --> 00:04:43,477
white, you can change that right here.

71
00:04:43,477 --> 00:04:46,516
One other thing I wanna
note is right here,

72
00:04:46,516 --> 00:04:52,103
you'll see we have links to various
different portfolios that you will have.

73
00:04:52,103 --> 00:04:56,866
To add a link, all you're gonna do
is click right here, press Link, and

74
00:04:56,866 --> 00:05:00,317
then enter in whatever
personal link you wanna add.

75
00:05:00,317 --> 00:05:04,657
So if you're adding your LinkedIn,
just copy and paste your LinkedIn and

76
00:05:04,657 --> 00:05:05,429
press Done.

77
00:05:05,429 --> 00:05:09,734
So once you've gone through and
you've edited your resume to your tastes,

78
00:05:09,734 --> 00:05:12,425
the next step is obviously
saving your resume so

79
00:05:12,425 --> 00:05:14,928
you can send it out to
potential employers.

80
00:05:14,928 --> 00:05:16,852
How to save your resume is super simple.

81
00:05:16,852 --> 00:05:22,167
You're just gonna go up here
to this little share button,

82
00:05:22,167 --> 00:05:26,079
click on it, and scroll down to Download.

83
00:05:26,079 --> 00:05:29,359
You're gonna click on Download and
click here,

84
00:05:29,359 --> 00:05:32,960
which is where the different
file types are located.

85
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,219
At this point,
it's up to you how you save it.

86
00:05:35,219 --> 00:05:40,639
I would choose a JPG, or a PDF, or a PNG
depending on what browser you're using,

87
00:05:40,639 --> 00:05:43,431
what type of computer you're using, and

88
00:05:43,431 --> 00:05:48,055
if you're planning on printing it out,
or sending it in an email, or

89
00:05:48,055 --> 00:05:52,237
attaching it to a job application,
that's really up to you.

90
00:05:52,237 --> 00:05:57,214
But all you're gonna do is just
press whichever one you want,

91
00:05:57,214 --> 00:06:03,259
then click download and it will download
right here down into the browser.

92
00:06:03,259 --> 00:06:09,001
And then all you do is drag and
drop that onto your computer.

93
00:06:09,001 --> 00:06:11,525
Thanks for
taking the time to watch this video.

94
00:06:11,525 --> 00:06:17,090
This was how to edit your copy of
the Treehouse resume template in Canva and

95
00:06:17,090 --> 00:06:21,055
customize it to your own
personal work experience.
