To grads and to-be grads:
You should start applying for jobs before you graduate. Just put down your latest results if you don't have the final results out yet. Many companies will give you a conditional/unconditional offer that start after you've completed your degree. I'd advise against the idea of putting in expected salary as a fresh graduate. Usually, companies have a standard pay for fresh graduates. If you're not happy with it and you have a good reason on why you should deserve more, you should negotiate verbally after you've obtained an initial offer. When you write you CV or cover letter, other than the usual advice that you should make sure it's error free and neat, you should make sure that it's presented in a why-should-you-hire-me tone. Listing accomplishments, skills learnt and responsibilities given that are above peers would help. Don't waste space with information that will not help to highlight your strength. It is also not true that fresh graduates have nothing to write in their CV. It will be a strong added advantage if you have something more than just CGPA to show, like internships, work experience during Uni will play a major role when it comes to assessing candidates. For cover letter, customize as much as possible to make yourself sound relevant to the company/industry. You have to take a third party view to assess yourself and extract the best bits to present them. You're the sales person for yourself. Don't be discouraged if you have something less than impressive like a lower CGPA. You just have to make sure that you have some other skills to compensate it. If you don't have any, then try to aim for a less demanding job for now and hopefully you will gain enough experience to move to a better job in the future. Most people get their jobs based on merit, few are lucky. Don't count on luck, how often can you have it on your side. |

I like to know if there is a list of engineering companies in Penang? Instead of searching through jobstreet and applying through there,
I like to try my luck and apply to companies who have not advertise vacancies in jobstreets. Plus applying in Jobstreet doesn't have a need of submitting a cover letter, which I feel is a disadvantage. |

For my own opinion, I dun think tat a lengthy resume is a wise thing to do. Everybody like things in a simple but stick-to-the-point format. The main section in the resume would be the self-description and working experience parts. These are the side where you can present yourself well.

should a resume include the professional logo in the heading if someone has attained the designation? will this get more attention from potential employer?

Provided your are entitled to use a professional logo, you can use it to your advantage.As I know it, you can use the professional initials after your name but not necessary the log because you don't represent the professional body as a president or committee for official purpose. |
