Would like to seek opinion..
Saw a recruitment ad in newspaper, without stating what post is available, this company just said that they r expanding n need ppl, n those who r interested r to email them their resume. So if i were to apply, do i need to:
1. send in a resume without stating which post m interested, and let them decide
which post suits me most?
2. send in a resume by giving them particular post ?
3. or, send them an email by asking what post r they offering before sending in
my resume(what if they don't reply my email... )?

what do u all think? which is the best way...?

This kind of vacancies are usually done by a third party. IMHO, you have to send the resume without stating the post as if you choose to shrink your options, you will tend to be filtered out in the early stages. Your resume should be skilled-based and focus on your skills rather than what you have done in the past and it should be 1 page long only. Success rate? 50:50.

regards

If there is a phone number, I would call them up and ask This is just my personal choice though.

oh success rate is jus 50:50 neway, tq for ur info, at least got some guideline for my resume

nuh...all they provide is jus an email...

I'm applying for an internship placement through the company website, before i submit my CV i already fill up my particular, so should i agains include my particular in the CV ? Besides that do i need a cover letter for this ? since they already know that i am applying for internship ?

And regarding my CV how do i add in my personal trait ? under what section

Thanks for reply

This is quite a general question. You have to cover quite a lot of info in your CV. Do you have any knowledge in the field and experience in setting up automation systems?

Yeah, you should put your personal info in your CV again. But keep it short to just your name and contact information only. Cover letter is a formality, but to have it is better than not having at all. As for your personal trait, you could start with the heading of "strengths".

Thanks alot.

hi guys
happy back to work

Guys, is it wise to send in resume in pdf format (through email)?
sending in words .doc seems to end up w/ bigger file size while some company might filter zip attachments

Employers usually don't mind if you send pdf format to them. but don't send in pdf if the employer advertised word.doc files only. In converting your resume into pdf format, always make sure the margins of the pdf documents are consistent with the margins in original word format. Else, it will make it look out of shape and causes your resume to loose its shine.

Most times when you do convert word documents to PDF, there shouldn't be any problems with the margins unless the program you are using is rather dodgy.

hi guys..
thanx for the info

another one,
regarding the cover letter, is the content of the email itself is the cover letter, or juz a part of the cover letter and indicate we attach the cover letter itself together with resume?
ie:
A. email content (a snippet of cover letter) + attachment (full cover letter + resume)
B. email content (full cover letter) + attachment (resume)

btw, if letter is the email itself, do it still follows official letter (surat rasmi) format, ie with address etc?

you can always make your cover letter general like this "i was interested to see your advertisement of vacancies ..." then you go on with your skills etc. let them decide where to put you based on your skills.

Guys,
Should I send the resume which I had with Jobstreet or should i send a differrent one . Btw the ads is from jobstreet.

I m never write a resume b4, this first a company asked me to. Im apply for a scuba diving field job based on a island.
im graduated in form 5 and work 2 job b4, and thats is. and else ?

It should be typed.
