don't think it will affect much, at least u're being honest with them..
& honesty goes a long way.. every company would want their staffs to be honest so company can give u heavier responsibility tasks.
Hardworking & honesty is  the way to go  nod.gif

Hmmm wanted to tidy up my resume, makes me wonder do we input our salary on the past job experience, and also expected salary in the resume?

I did put in both in my resume previously.

Nope. Put things that are related and concrete in your resume. Resume's role is to have a quick highlight of your strengths and achievements, so anything else that is unrelated to the role you will be doing is not essential.

I see a lot of resume's littered with things like pictures, age, gender, etc.. for jobs that those factor have no impact in anyway.

I can have a look and provide my opinion if you are keen on it. Whilst I think my resume isn't top notch, it hasn't really failed to get me to where I am today.

I did lost out on a job to an ME MNC as I was too junior for the role sad.gif

Can't say for sure, I never really hear any of my colleagues mentioned anything that stood out based on a reply. However, put in a note of thanks (e.g. thanks for the opportunity, look forward to good news, etc etc..) and do follow up after the few days.

While I'll be honest and say most hiring managers and HR partners has likely made up their mind in the middle or towards the end of the interview on a candidate, I have been personally told the reason I landed a job back when I started my career was due to the fact I followed up for a response and that conveyed something that prompted the hiring manager to hire me.

That is a pretty personal anecdote though which might not be universal, but it is generally a good practice to do.

In Summary: check your language. Grammar error is obvious here and it leaves a bad mark from the get go. It also doesn't highlight your character strengths

In Experience: You listed no experience. You listed jobs you did. But I don't see what did you do there, what did you accomplished, what did you experienced.

Additional Info: Don't list your salary expectations

I think you should discard the "additional information". Those are only revealed during an interview. You will risk having your resume rejected if you provide too much information.

Besides, your experience is not detailed enough, you should list down what you did as a clerk for example.

People want to see the impact you made in your resume. What have yoy achieved?

Also, discard the language (just like additional info), its a waste  of space.

Keep your resume less than 2 pages.

Alright, my worthless 2 cents.

1) Push your study experience higher. I have a feeling you are prioritising your education background due to your limited working experience, but after highlighting your studies you went into your older working experience. However, if that internship is crucial, then highlight it first. But compartment them better.

2) Any honors, awards or publications? Those would be worth a mention as well.

3) Your GPA is probably crucial seeing as it is in an American context.

4) Skills should be lower down after listing your education and work experiences.

5) For US resumes, there is a tendency as well to list down relevant courses completed, so you might want to give that a thought.

6) Add brief descriptions of your role in the items you listed before the achievements. Student Engineer might sound trivial unless I get a description of your overall scope and look at it in a different light.

7) Have a look around other samples and play with the spacing and formatting, at the moment it is too cramped. A 2 page CV is not an issue, anything over that is for a fresh graduate.

Overall though, you have a pretty decent resume. Well done.
