lol~ this cv really impress me. but if im the employer, i wouldnt waste my time reading it... too lengthly and not neatly written lor...

but very SAT lar...

if lets say u help out your dad during your holidays as part time..

do u think we should write that in our resume?

IHMO, you can do so.

For example, if you are helping your dad a store, you can write in these activities:
checking inventories in the store.
carry out account balancing
provide sales consultancy for customers

thanks for the reply. i'm currently in IT field and yeah i do help my dad check all those stuff, btw my dad is in the motorbike and insurance field,

but do u think it's relevant ?

so its advisable to put it down as previous job experience?

yeah, employers would really appreciate a freshie with some working experience.

thanks again. so one more question,

i work for my dad occasionally only, meaning like maybe weekend only, then holiday go daily, sometimes tired dowan go..

so how should i put it the column about the past job duration? lol

you could always put "part time"

Some companies do have their own application forms available on their site. Does that means i just fill it up n mail to them without any other documents (resume etc)..?

Yes, especially for online application.

However, if those application forms are hardcopy, it doesn't hurt to throw in your CV or a cover letter.

HERE is something to look at. It lists what managers hate to see on your rèsumè. Note: rèsumè, not curriculum vitaè.

guys , i'm just finished my spm and now applying for a part time job, wat should i rite in my resume, dont think can fill up 1 page full

Hi, need some advise. I'm applying for a job in a totally different field/industry from what I'm doing at the moment, which I do not have the any practical experiences, so two of my current bosses said that they will do recommendation letters for me. Should I make copies and put it together with my rèsumè, or should I just sent in the rèsumè without the letters but put a note of the recommendations availability on the reference part?

Any feedbacks will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You can enclosed the recommendation letters provided the recommendation letters should be able to show you general attributes as an excellent employee and must include contact information of the person who write it in order for the reader to cross check when needed. If not such info is provided, people might think that it is not genuine.

hi, all....how to generalise our cover letter to get the MNC to consider us for any other positions available or suitable based on our CV, and not just that 1 particular position we've applied for?

I believe that a cover letter must be job-specific. As such a cover letter would be able to highlight the required skills and abilities that is needed. On the other hand, with a general cover letter, these skills and abilities are always written in a general form, therefore the effect on the reader would not be strong.
If you would like to apply for 2 or more post in the same company, you can always send to application.

Sigh. Here goes.

I'm a student who's currently studying for my diploma in mechanical engineering (not that this matter anyway). I planned to find a part time job and recently I found 1 which was in the teledirect/telemarketer field. I never work in this field before, nor that I have even properly apply for a job which requires me to send in a resume before. Thus, now I'm stuck on how to write, or rather I don't know what is the format for a resume. My friend who recommend me to this job was currently working for this company. I've asked him on how he wrote his resume. And this is what he taught me:

Name:
DOB:
Address :
Contact :
Age :
Salary Expectation :
Academic qualifications :
Extra Curricular activities and position held :
Additional Activity and period : <for NS purposes>
Personal Strength :
Hobbies :

So, is this resume format usable? Since he had been recruited by using the almost identical resume format, I wanted to ask what thing/field should I add into this resume? Sorry for the trouble, I really don't know how to write a resume and don't understand the tutorial given on the 1st page.

Thanks in advance.

I do not think salary expectation is a necessary detail in a resume. Generally, the main points in a decent CV should cover the following:

Personal particulars (Name, Gender, DOB, Address & contact)
Work experience (Company name, Job title, Brief job description)
Education (School(s) and qualifications obtained)
Achievements (Scholarships awarded, competitions won etc)
Others (Any additional info such as Linguistic skills, Additional skills, Personal interests, Affiliations with various societies etc)

Hope this helps.

hello everyone...

i try yo send my cv to apply some training (that training will give me rm500 monthly allowance blabla..i hope all forumers are aware about this) after they received my resume, they will arrange an interview.

how could i write my resume? Would u not hesitate to share tips n tricks?

Should or should not i write the detail about my cv (in my university day..once i have been a president of some club blabla..)

i think if i write down that..it will decrease my chance to get the training course..becoz i think that training is for weakened people/student who did not have good background.

thanx..
