Ton CV a attiré l’attention du recruteur ! Il faut préparer l’entretien maintenant, avec mon cours “Get The Job: Réussir son entretien d’embauche en anglais”
And now for this week’s episode…
You can always make improvements (apporter des améliorations) to your resumé (or CV…). It seems it’s never perfect. (In fact, it’s a bit like creating a website—I’m always looking for little changes to improve mine, and I’m open to suggestions 😉
After watching the video “Errors To Avoid On Your American Resumé”, SBFG Ambassador Marc asked me to create a video on branding statements to include at the beginning of your resumé.
Your wish is my command, and here it is!This is a very relevant subject because the quality of your branding statement influences how much time the recruiter spends looking at your CV.
It’s a little like those short descriptions on the back (au dos) of a book. In this case, the book is you! If the recruiter likes what they read, they’re more likely to (il a plus de chances de) consider buying the book.
And that’s what we want—the recruiter to spend time with your CV, to consider your application, to call you for an interview.
They’ll call you because they want to know more about you. You might be the perfect person for the job.
You want to be sure your resumé stands out, but maybe you don’t know how to take it from “good” to “wow!”.
After today’s episode, you’ll know the secret!
Before you send your CV, share your branding statement with us!
And if you want more examples first, the article “How to Write an Impressive Objective Statement for Your Résumé” has plenty. (Also, notice how they write “résumé”, I write “resumé”, and on the web, you’ll often see “resume”—We Americans have no idea how accents work 🙂
Just write it in the comments below and the SBFG Community can help you with it. Maybe you’ll inspire someone else too!
Remember that thousands of other French-speaking professionals come to SBFG to boost their English and boost their career. Your comment may be exactly what someone else needs to build their confidence, speak better English, and feel great about themselves.
Thanks for wanting to improve your English & your career. I love helping you!
Have a fantastic week in English,
Christina

Hi Christina, please what do you think about that :
Marketing, Sales, Retailing and Publishing markets
Successfully designed and implemented seasonal marketing campaigns in thousands points of sale and analyzed financial results of these campaigns to implement improvements. Managed stakeholder’s expectations of 30 publishing companies. Looking for new challenges in a start-up, small or medium-sized company.
(to summarize, I graduated from a french business school and my experiences are : 2 years as a product manager in Hachette and 2 years as an intern in marketing and sales department in big companies (Nestlé, Larousse …))
Thank you for your help !
ps : merci pour tes vidéos supers utiles 🙂
Hi Ludivine,
Thanks for your comment, and your branding statement is really very good! If I had to add some little improvements, maybe you could be more precise about the number of sales outlets (something like “in more than 3000 sales outlets”. If you don’t have precise numbers, you should say “in thousands of sales outlets”).
Stakeholders is plural, I imagine (or was it just one stakeholder?) If it’s plural, the apostrophe is on the other side of the “s” (stakeholders’ expectations).
The structure is good and the language is clear! Good job on this!
PS. Et c’est un plaisir de créer des vidéos pour toi et les autres SBFG Ambassadors ! J’essaie vraiment de rendre le Business English un peu amusant (tout en étant sérieux sur le fond) et d’aider les Français à arrêter de dire qu’ils sont nuls en anglais 🙂
Thank you very much Christina for your help ! I appreciate it 🙂
Your videos are the best and really useful !
Merci merci merci !
I hope I will find a job very soon thanks to your good advice ! 🙂

Hi Christina !
Thanks to your help, I have a great introduction on my résumé and Today I will have my first interview in English in the US ! And I will have a another interview on Thursday with another company ! (Vs no answer at all the past 3 weeks when I had a boring introduction on my résumé !)
🙂 🙂
Thank you !
Hi Ludivine!
That is fantastic! I’m soooo happy that you got 2 interviews so soon! It just shows that by changing a little thing, you can make a big difference, even with your current level of English. It’s all about what you do with what you have, and you did something great!
How did the interviews go? I was crossing my fingers for you 🙂
Dear Christina, what difference would you make between CV and résumé, if any? What’s your favorite term anyway? Many thanks!
