 What's up guys evil D here and today I want to speak about why you should include Esperanto on your resume now The reason I'm covering this is simple yesterday I went to a job interview and I believe it helped me out a lot and second I see people asking about this So I figured you know, I'm going to give my opinion. I'm a youtuber. I have an opinion. You're gonna listen Okay, so the best way to show you why is to give you my history I learned Esperanto when I was in the army after I left the army. Obviously I was looking for a job I decide not to include in my resume because I thought it would make me look silly took a while I eventually found a job after that I decided, you know time to progress my career I started looking for jobs again But this time I was going to include Esperanto at the end of the resume in the interest section one word because this was something I was passionate about I've taken part in non-profits. I've done a lot of stuff in the Esperanto movement So I figured I'm going to include it. What's the worst that could happen? Some guy will look at it laugh at it and go Esperanto is so funny. No one speaks that and then I wouldn't want to work with them anyway So I included it. I went to a job interview sat down. There was three people in front of me You know how it is in every job interview You sit on one side of the table and all the other people sit on the other and those three people HR infrastructure manager and Yes, it was a developer. So we were sitting there. They'll ask me the general questions It was very like formal cold and then the developer jumped in he goes. I just got to ask I gotta ask you got Esperanto on your resume. I've heard about that before I didn't think people spoke that and I started telling him about my experiences with the language and he was fascinating Guess what? The other two became fascinating. They were sitting there going That's really cool. By the end of the interview it was no longer that static cold feeling between us It was more like just a friendly conversation and I went home and the next day I got a call from the agent I had landed the job and I thought you know what it's obviously not because they want to Learn Esperanto it's just because it's so unique Okay, obviously, this is not going to work when everyone speaks Esperanto But for now it's a very unique skill. Okay, so if you've got any unique skill doesn't have to be Esperanto But something really unique put it on your resume because they look at it And they just can't help but ask then I went for my next job the one that was right here that I just quit recently I remember I sat down and I was speaking with the CEO and my direct manager and Because it was a small company and my CEO he has a heavy Israeli accent and he goes look at each and I see you In the army for six years or we are a very Multicultural company. I'm not sure you could work with the other people being soldier and everything. I'm not gonna continue the accent That was really hard as it was And then at that point I go well actually if you look at the end of the resume I also speak Esperanto and I was about to explain it to him But he'd actually heard about it before and he goes he was like isn't that that language that disappeared in the 80s And he knew what the concept was behind it But once he realized that I spoke this he then trusted that I would be someone who would be willing to work with people in a very Multicultural environment anyway, I left Got the job the next day and just before I left the job recently I sat down at the CEO on the last day and he said you know what? Picking you was a really good choice and then he asked me a few more questions about Esperanto So he was interested yesterday. This is the biggest time. It's helped me Went to a job interview Contractor role I'm doing contracting now and I sat down those two people a woman and a guy there the guy like when we sat down In the interview it was in the the cafe of the actual place We sat down and he got up and he went and got us a drink and the woman Like bent over and she goes I see you speak Esperanto You're the second Esperanto speaker I've ever met and I was like you've met another and she's like yeah Yeah, when I was in Brazil, I was in a hostel when I was younger I met an Esperanto speaker there and then I told her about my travels and she wanted to know more Anyway, we spoke a little bit then the other guy found out and then we spoke a little bit more about it And then we moved into the core of the interview and that's what we start speaking about management and stuff like that It really helped to break that ice again It was like that icebreaker and I feel that every person needs an icebreaker on their resume I was you're basically the same as everyone else and my unique skill is Esperanto And that's why I think because you're an Esperanto speaker most likely you are obviously there's not an Esperanto speaker I watch my channel, but if you are included it's gonna help you out That's basically it so if you've liked this video give it a like share it around your friends sub to the channel if you haven't already And I just punched myself in the face and I see you all in the next video I was a punch you in the face Kaikiel, I always want to thank my subscribers for a page Donatsu dollar monate For certifying the existence of this channel My subscribers now are Sarah, Joe, Miguel, Bad, Tommy, Alex, Jake, Rafa, Chuck, Craig, Marvin, The Igor, Cuba, Jacob, Jason Knuckles, Shane and Greg
