Power Point for Beginners | Make a Resume

Hi everyone, you are going to look at PowerPoint. It is a very powerful software I used to make

presentation. But I use PowerPoint for a lot of work, a lot of design work. I use it to make

infographics, pictures from my blog post, even YouTube thumbnails. Now in this video, I'm going

to make a beautiful resume using PowerPoint. And even if you're a beginner, you have no idea about

PowerPoint, you have not used it before, you can learn the basics of PowerPoint through this video

and in the process you'll be able to build this beautiful resume

So let's get started. Okay, so these are all the files that we're going to use in this project

I'll put them in the link in the description below so that you can download them for free and use some of these icons if you want to

So these are all the files that we need. So I've just opened up PowerPoint

You have this first screen greeting you. Then you can go on blank presentation

So you have this slide. So these are slides here. We have slide number one there

This is what we're going to use to build our resume. But firstly, we want to change the orientation of this slide

because we can see from our resume, we have it in portrait

Page one, page two are all in portrait. And because of that, we want this page to be in portrait as well

So on the tabs here on top, I'll go to design. Then I'll navigate to slide design

just click the click on it there then you have customized slide okay so here you can change the

orientation so we have portrait and landscape I'll put it on portrait you can also change the size of

the slide I'll choose a for here just in case you want to print this resume then just say okay

you can choose any of these okay then you have our portrait there then I'll go back to the home

tab i'll just remove these things that i can see here so i'll go on layout just scroll down then

blank so those are gone i also remove these lines by light clicking on them delete

light clicking delete so we have our blank space there so when you look at the resume that we have

so we have some sections we have this white part there then we have another darker one and another

very dark here so i'm going to design these parts first of all before anything else so when you are

you are on your slide you can go to insert then insert shape then just choose the rectangle then

i'll just do any size that i want i'll be able to resize it so i can just do anything like that

so you can see this one has the outline it's blue not exactly what we want so you can go and shape

outline and say no outline then you can go and shape fill and choose just choose this light gray

like that then you can move this however you want so just move it up there and resize it a bit using

these points like that okay just a little bit okay so we have our first part remember we had

the second one here which was darker so we can go to insert and get another shape and do the same

process or we can duplicate this one that we have made however you go about it still remains the

same so i'll just start from here make that shape it's going to be a little bit smaller than the

other one again i'll say no outline then for the shape fill it's it's going to be a darker color

uh okay just this one then i can duplicate this just click on it when it's highlighted like that

let me just click there so it's not highlighted but when i click on it it's highlighted i can say

ctrl d to duplicate then i can move this one around so i'll just start it from there

just put this one towards the end then i can change the shape feel for this one it should be

darker like that great so we have our template let's make this a little bit

darker so go for okay that's that's a good one so we have three of these and

when you look at our sorry when you look at our Desi email we have these three parts so I'll start with the photo I'll put the

photo then I'll move in to put the rest so go back my files I'll pick this photo

just drop it there in PowerPoint like that there we are it's very big let me

just resize it using the corners okay so it starts from somewhere there again

I'll resize it okay that's just about right okay let me just resize it again

okay okay up to this point then I'll drag this one a little bit down so that

it okay start from there even this one wonderful okay so we have our photo if we see in the resume

keep going back to this one the photo is black and white and so we can just double click on the photo

then we go where it says color then saturation then just place black and white there boom we

have our photo like that then what's the other thing we have if i go back to this one we have

this yellow transparent line so if we can see at this resume the colors are orange yellow orange

something like that but just for a change and for variety we're going to use green we're going to

use green so that we have that difference okay so i'll go on insert one small shapes get the

rectangle started from here there and it's about that size like that okay the same process no

outline then i can pick the shape color i want it to be green green like that but if you can see this

this one is not transparent so let me just pull this down so to be able to make it transparent

you just click on it then right click there's an option that says for match shape

and once you do that you can go to fill then there's this transparent option so when i drag

it to the right i increase the transparent you can see what is happening when it goes to 100

it no longer visible so i just leave it about there so we have our our transparent line there Again when I go back to this one so we have the name there we have what this person does so just do that just write the name and

I'll bring in this box profile and all those things so we go back to be able to

write something you go on insert text box then you can just click anywhere and

start typing so just say akim piri okay you can click ctrl a to highlight everything so that you

can make it the size that you want so make it bigger like that again and again okay i can drag

it there just about there let me just get rid of this great so we have our name there

okay so we need the title underneath it but for the title if we can see there's this yellow

rectangle then there's the title inside so we'll do just that we'll go on insert shapes then this

time around we'll pick the rounded rectangle rounded corners rectangle so you click on it

again you can just put it anywhere so just click like that then you have this yellow circle there

that you can use to make this more rounded or less rounded so just make it slightly rounded

like that then i'll be able to adjust this make it a little bit smaller okay great let's put it

here and see what is happening okay so i can drag it once more okay and even this side great

again we'll say no outline then we'll choose this green color like that okay so our resume

is taking shape we just go to insert get the text and write whatever we have to write

So that one was saying blog at Akeana, you can say programmer at akeana.com or just at Akeana

Again, you can highlight everything, make it a little bit bigger like that

Let's see if it fits in there. It doesn't fit very well

Let's make it a little bit smaller like that. Okay, then I can click on this one and say ignore and just center it like that

So you can see that black is not very transparent on this green

Let's try to use a different color for this text. So you go where there's an A and a red down there and you can just click on the drop down

Then you have the colors that you want. So I think white looks good

So I'll pick white, I think that's visible. Great. Next it says profile just here. So I can just

click on these words, I can duplicate them like that. Just drag it somewhere there so that I'm

able to write properly. So just say profile like that. Then this one would be control O

and change the color to black okay something like that and make it a little bit bigger

just drag it over there great okay just smaller a little bit okay wonderful so the next thing is to put the line just underneath

this profile so you can go again on insert shapes you have a line there but

what I like to do is to use a rectangular rectangle shape because I can

easily control it so just put a very small line like that short one for that

matter then I can say no outline and the color field will be the same one then

just drag it just underneath this this one push it a little bit this side great okay next just a

very little bit of some words here so just select all of these and just push them up a little bit

using the arrow key like that okay so that i leave some space here so for the profile here

you write whatsoever you want to write about you but what i'll just do is to copy some

load them ipsum okay you can drag it there just pull it a little bit okay

great you can just delete this one once more wonderful so we have our text there so this is

just a short summary about you so i don't like the red i'll just get rid of this quickly then we

continue okay great now that we are done with this part we can move on to the other parts

let's look at our template once more so we have done this part that one and that one and you can

see this name is board so we'll have to do that so the first section will look at the experience

section be able to fill out this then move on so we have experience we have present from a certain

year to a certain year so let's work on those things so i'll go back to this one first of all

make this one board because it's board there okay great then i'll just i can copy this word by

duplicating it and just moving it here change the color to something visible

like white and call it experience okay so in the experience I'll just duplicate

this one once more bring it just down here Just make it a little bit smaller

Okay, let me just zoom in so that I can make it even more smaller

Okay, like that. Great. Okay, so now we can get our words

I can just duplicate this Okay and write whatever I want here so I can say present where we are working right now Okay Just make it a little bit smaller drag it put it on top there okay great

next just at the end we can put the name of the place where we're working

okay now just get this one duplicate it because it's much easier that way and i'll say

a kiana that's where we're working okay by the way before i do that you can see that above this thing that has a position there's a

title what you're doing at the moment so just do that i'll just highlight these and move them

down a little bit to leave space for that title okay then i can get this one duplicate it and write

that title full stack develop okay i just highlight everything make it bold and a little bit smaller

okay move this one a little bit up okay that's good isn't it okay so now i have your duties what you do at this company so i'll just

copy this again duplicate it then just write what you do i'll just make this a little bit smaller

Okay, just put it here, Ctrl O and change the color of this to white

That's right, isn't it? When we look at this, just what is happening even there

So we'll put the next company. So to make it easy, just copy everything here starting from full stack there, duplicate

it and just drag it downwards like that. So this another company worked on it from maybe 2018

to 2021, something like that. And the name of this other campaign was Madcash. Okay, again

these are the duties, this is what we are doing. So, so far, we are up to this point

The next are the references. Okay, so let me just make this one all capital letters

and the references as well. So when you go to this to the experience you highlight everything

you can just move on to this tab where it says change case then choose uppercase you can even

make it board so that it's visible. I think I'll leave it unboarded like that okay then

you can choose the experience, you can duplicate the experience and say differences

You can now do the same thing, uppercase

okay so what i've noticed here is i'm running out of spades what i've written is quite bigger

than what is uh here so i'll just defactor everything and come back

okay so i've factored defracted some things to make everything fit in there

so let's continue with the reference so here's what we'll do I'll just I'll just

put one reference so this would be let's say John Cashinga okay he's the director of Mattcache

and these contacts are let's say 0 0 0 0 0 0

okay so those are the contacts i'm just zooming a little bit

so that we are able to see what we are doing great and i'll just remove these

okay so that's our that's our difference you can add another difference here the process is just

the same so when I go back to this one so you can see these two differences there next we'll

just add the interest. So do the same, duplicate this, just here and call it interest

Just put it there then this is where we're going to add our icons. Great so

here that's where we grab our icons so we have these three icons our interest

is in technology so just drop it here okay again I'll just resize this like

that so our first interest is technology so you can see this is not visible it's

dark so again you can go to colors and just change the color to green like

that okay so we have that green you can drag another one so this one is for coding

just put it here besides it just like this one just double click it go to colors choose that green

then I can add in another one so we have music writing

okay we do the same and choose green then I can just copy this one

control also the first one will say technology if I interested in technology just make it a little

bit smaller so that it fits here, okay so there is our technology, smaller once again

up to 10 like that great so this part is done again the colors you can change

them put the ones that you like but I'm just using the same colors on the

entire template so in this part if we can look at this one we have education

we have skills and we have this part let me start with this one so just go back

there they'll just go on and set shapes rectangular shape somewhere here okay

about this size yep so do the same no outline shape this one will be green

okay then we have different icons there we have the core icon male icon and the

location icon so just drag them over from this one the call icon we put it there so just okay

this one then we can put our details there so just get this one duplicate it bring it over here

and just write the things i want so the first one is contact so say contact

then put the number there okay just make it a little bit smaller

that's our contact city three would do okay wonderful so we have that next we need to have a section for skills okay so we can see our

resume here is taking shape we have ordered added all the things that we need and now just remaining

with the skills here so once again go to this one have education then skills so let me put these two

So, okay, these are the last ones and this I'll leave it for you so that you can make depending with what you have learned on this one

Okay, so let's go back to this one. I'll just get this, duplicate it and say education

duplicate it again and say skills okay so for the for education I'll just get this duplicate it

drag it there okay have that now let's take care of the skills and that should be it so for the

skills you can look at them we have the skill and the level of the skill this

side so this one is very simple to do what we need I'll just put three skills

here so let's say let me just get this text and duplicate it so this would be

my skill number one let's say programming and skill number three will be let's say SEO

okay so now for the for the levels there of your skills you're just going to insert

these shapes so we use a rounded shape so from here up to say there

so i'm just going to okay that wasn't around the chip and say shape rounded there up to there so

i'm just going to zoom into this one so that you can see it's rounded i'm going to make it even more

rounded the move outline and make it the feel be make it even more darker yeah this should do

so just duplicate the same one just drop it on top of this one and drag it backwards slightly

and just change the color of this one to the green that we are using so you can see there we are

giving an effect of the shadow so if you want you can put a small circle here to see where it ends

okay so just do the same for this one i'll just copy all of them then duplicate and blogging

do the same there on SEO so let's say programming we're very good at it so almost full blogging

we're getting there near the half and then SEO just a little bit backwards like that

so there we have our template we have our resume the first part and this is

fully editable you can change all the details put you on change your icons you

can change everything here including the fold and add your own so I've gone on to

do the second one but this has taken a lot of time already so you can take that

as part of your work to put together all the knowledge that you have learned in

in this first part and be able to build the second part

Actually, the second part is even much more simpler than this one

You just have this section, this one, that one, the photo there, and this one

So take that as your work and be able to build this one

So once you are done, you can even export this, export and export it to PDF and print it if you want

send it to whoever you may want to review so i will leave all the files and including this template

in the description below you have a link where i can download it for free and be able to practice

on your own so thank you so much for tuning in thank you so much i'll see you in the next one
