1) resume
2) original certificates + a photocopy of it (arrange them in order)
3) a few passport size photos
4) a photocopy of your IC (front and back).
5) Pen and calculator (if needed)
6) yourself

Good Day,

Firstly, before the interview, you'll probably need to fill the company's registration form where you'll placed your cute little photo in it. The million ringgit question is what else to bring, right? Always bring your certs and resume (photocopies and original)... just in case, they lost your resume. As for the rest, it's better to safe than sorry. Anyway, how heavy can it be? By the way, cover letter is just brief info of yourself, anyone can help you write, resume is more towards a detailed description of yourself, anyone could help you write as well. Go figure... The interview is to sell yourself to get the job. No one can help you this time.

As for the physical part, it might be good for a pen to be placed in your upper pocket (it makes you look professional and ready). Lastly, all this would be useless if you're nervous... so be confident. Don't get intimidated, they are just humans and they too had their first job interview experience, just like you and me. Well, that's what i normally tell the candidates.

Lastly, Always remind yourself, you'll get a job, it's just a matter of time (eventually everyone need to work!)... yeah, search around town and you'll notice there are pretty good free courses around to add to your certs and to your resume so it shows that you did things during your unemployment period. You could also join clubs (professional affiliation), or read a good book which you could add to your resume.

All the Best! Luck don't count

all bullet form and straight to the point requirements

Summary

Work experience from cureent to pass after that you enter what ever below..

For me i keep it short , neat and simple as for most employers like it straight to the point. If they want you they will read more regarding your CV, if they think your cv is boring they will just KIV it or even throw it away.. so the way to attract them if to write what you know and what you can do with your skills and people skills and summary on certain things you know and can do..

after that only write your experience if they want to know you more.

hope this helps

there r a few types of resume, 1paged, 2paged, 3-4paged n full resume, it all depends on wat kinda job u r applying n how much experience u hav....usually 2paged should be enuf , interview baru bring full resume...

in the case for researcher, full resume is better lo...

just my 2cents...

guys...if you don't mind help me a bit here...

most company understand final result not out situation, they will judge u on accumulative agregrade, so no worry.

the date u complete course or finish exam or available to work , can considered completed date, not very important...

ow alrights thx for your guidance...

What to write if you are promoted to higher level and received email on the promotion by director and you intend to email back with thanks and saying you will try your best in doing the jobs assigned?

what you have suggested is sufficient. One sentence is fine as long as it begins with Thank you.l

very true. straight to point will be the best. you must ensure results to realy justify his trust in you.

Let say i am fresh graduate and need to find programming job for living.

Is it good if i had website application which have everything such my portfolio , online resume and so on to impressed the hiring manager ?

I do that web application because programming market very competitive today and i need something strong to support my abilities in programming .

how about my chance to get that particular job because i dont have any work experience yet , except six month as junior programmer ?

thank you .

my opinion , watever u hav had online tht can show the interviewer is ur powerful testimonial for a proggramer job.

chances of getting a job depends on the company looking for a fresh grad or experienced dude.

Why did most employer still request a candidate to fill in the form when resume is produced? Its painstaking to re-write the whole thing again when they have yet to confirm you yet.

every candidate sent in resume of their own format (1,2,4,6 pages), so most employer will hav their own form to ask for required info as well as for their HR file keeping. i don't think most ppl will put their parents' info in resume but certain company do ask for these info.....so, if u want the job, stick to their rules....
