I'm on the side advocating against the inclusion of a picture in your resume. For it, it is both to eliminate any potential biases (though it might actually work in your favour!) as well as presents a much cleaner, content driven resume.

I agree. From my reading, you should only include picture of yourself if the work or position requires you to include a picture i.e. flight attendant, PR, marketing etc perhaps?

If there was a request to attach a picture, you can still attach it separate from your resume rather than making it a part of your resume.

optional

but so far it is OK not to have

Companies normally only request when confirmed hiring, to make the pass card/employee card, for record purposes etc

Hi, let's say I wanted to apply for this position. The ad says I can either post or email my resume to them. Is cover letter necessary? If it is necessary, can I type my cover letter using my email application? Thanks.

what if my resume got address that is far away from the workplace that i have applied e.g applied kl but from terengganu, would that affect the possibility of me getting a reply call and making me go down the pecking order? any hr here?

there is possibility that employers might think twice before contacting you, but if u state in yr resume youre willing to relocate elsewhere, that shouldnt be a problem.

Don't you think it's a bias? You prioritize resume with pics first? hmm.gif

In some countries that would actually be illegal, because it could lead to discrimination.

Sorry if this post is in Malay Language

ADAB PERMOHONAN KERJA - MELALUI E-MEL

Ini merupakan permohonan kerja melalui e-mel yang membolehkan saya menembusi industri minyak & gas yang mana umum mengetahui sangat sukar untuk ditembusi.
.
.
Ini merupakan salah satu daripada beratus jika bukan beribu permohonan yang diterima oleh Technip Geoproduction (M) Sdn. Bhd. dan permohonan saya telah disenarai pendek kepada lebih kurang 80 calon untuk ditemuduga. Dan dari 80 calon yang ditemuduga, dengan izin Tuhan saya di antara 17 orang yang diterima memulakan 'on-the-job' training. Permohonan saya ini telah disenarai pendek oleh pakar HR - Bahagian Pengambilan (Recruitment), Cik Puan Halizah Bahroddin. Mungkin beliau boleh kongsikan apakah kelebihan permohonan saya sehingga membuatkan beliau menyenarai pendek permohonan saya.
.
.
Dengan merujuk kedua-dua gambar ini, ada beberapa perkara yang anda semua perlu belajar dan perlu buat untuk permohonan kerja anda pada masa akang datang:

1. Alamat E-mel Professional
2. 'Subject Header'
3. Isi Kandungan E-mel (E-mail Cover Letter)
=> Pengenalan diri secara ringkas,
=> Pengalaman praktikal/kerja,
=> Kelebihan diri anda yang buatkan majikan perlu mengambil anda bekerja,
=> Butiran untuk dihubungi, dan
=> 'E-mail signature'
4. Lampiran (yang BERSAIZ KECIL!!!)
=> 'Cover Letter'
=> 'Resume'
=> 'Recommendation Letters' (ini insiatif saya sendiri untuk mendapatkan surat sokongan bertulis dari majikan tempat saya menjalankan latihan industri).

Nota Penting: Lihat bagaimana saya namakan setiap fail dokumen tersebut. Kita cerita adab menamakan fail dokumen dalam perkongsian saya yang akan datang.
.
Ini cerita tahun 2009. Ini cerita 6 tahun lepas. Ini cerita semasa dunia sedang dalam krisis ekonomi. Ini cerita semasa ekonomi dunia sedang menguncup. Ini cerita semasa syarikat dalam industri minyak dan gas juga mengurangkan pengambilan pekerja. Ini cerita semasa kebanyakan syarikat membuang pekerja.
.
.
Bukan ingin membangga diri atau menyombong, tapi jujur saya katakan setelah hampir 6 tahun, kebanyakan permohonan kerja yang saya terima masih jauh dari 'standard' dan adab yang saya guna pakai pada tahun 2009. Jika permohonan kerja melalui e-mel pada tahun 2009 ini saya sendiri beri 3/5 (penggunaan bahasa masih boleh diperbaiki, saiz fail yang masih besar, tiada usaha untuk mencari dan menulis nama penerima, dan sebagainya), rasanya kebanyakan permohonan yang saya terima selama 6 tahun ini kebanyakannya pada tahap 0/5-2/5, adalah sedikit yang berada pada tahap 3/5 dan sangat sukar mencari yang berada tahap 4/5. Jadi janganlah engkau mengomel kalau dah dekat SETAHUN engkau MENGANGGUR!!!
.
.
Saya MERAYU sangat-sangat, tolonglah perbaiki permohonan kerja melalui e-mel anda selepas ini. Kalau adab yang ini pun anda dah gagal untuk jadikan pada tahap sekurang-kurangnya 3/5, jangan mimpilah HR nak buka dan tengok lampiran (Cover Letter & CV) yang anda lampirkan, jawabnya berhabuklah sebab masuk dalam 'ARCHIVE FOLDER'.
.
.
Ini adab permohonon kerja melalui e-mel yang saya amalkan selama 5-6 tahun ini. Bagaimana pula adab permohonan kerja melalui e-mel yang anda amalkan?

Do I need to submit my certificates in my email applying for job or I just take it of I am choosen for interview?

Should I attach my cover letter as the 1st page with my resume or separate it?

Thank you.

copies of cert should be brought when attending interviews, somehow this should be well reflected in ur resume, as for the cover letter yes it should be that way, just sharing wink.gif
