Hey guys! Happy New Year! 🥳
Last year was a massive one and over the last month I've taken a break to recharge. Now, I'm ready to hit the ground running and get back into things.
With that said, at the start of the year a lot of people are thinking about a change or applying for new roles. To help support anyone going through that process, I've decided to release a new Pro version of my resume & portfolio template.
This new version includes my updated 1-column layout resume and incorporates my learnings and feedback from my original 2-column layout. I've also decided to create my resume & portfolio in other programs too so it's now available in Canva, Microsoft Word and Google Docs.
If this sounds useful to you, check out the links below.
Ben :)

I just posted the blockwork wall design tutorial I wish I’d had.
In this video, I walk you step by step through the design calculations for a 190-series reinforced, core-filled blockwork wall.
I cover four worked examples: bending, out-of-plane shear, in-plane shear, and compression.
Check it out :)

What is the correct formula for the maximum deflection of a simply supported beam subjected to a uniformly distributed load (UDL)?
Did you get the correct answer? 😁
If you want to test your knowledge and make sure you know other popular structural engineering formulas, you should check out my recent video where I cover a bunch of the other formulas all structural engineers should know: https://youtu.be/N5bqAEMJOE8

Do you struggle to decide what to include on your resume?
Crafting a standout resume used to involve painstakingly analysing job descriptions and manually figuring out which key details to highlight about yourself.
Simply put, making a resume was time-consuming and often overwhelming.
But nowadays, thanks to AI, this once tedious process has become much simpler and more efficient.
In my latest video, I walk you through the exact steps I used to create my current resume, including the ChatGPT prompts that helped me generate tailored, professional bullet points for each of my skills. These 5 slides summarise the general process.
