if the company is very reputable in the industry, you might as well put it in.

want to ask something...

should we state that we r like "company X scholarship receiver" in our resume?

wanna ask, is it betta to send out our application using A4 envelope or normal 1? and wat is the postage rate for sending it locally?

thanks...

hey guys, if let say u fill up your detail in a job websites, at the current salary section, would u fill in the amount u presently received or u would increase it a bit, so that u could increase the expected salary....any opinion?

i'm thinking about that too, but also thinking that it could go the other way...

let say if we put it..what employer might think...
positive: "he's great since can get company A sholarship"
negative: "he's great, but he might being called by company A for employment afterwards, so better to find other candidates.."

so, any opiinion broabout this bro...
ur advise is appreciated...

All companies want to hire the best. So don't worry.

Ah~ Competition... They might do a background check (attitude problems? bad habits?) on you so choose your references properly.

Im going to look for jobs and in the process of preparing resume

I just realised that resume that will be sent must be in PDF file..
So, what software should i use to convert words file to PDF file?

Thanks in advance


Freshie

well, there are freewares pdf writers online. If i'm not mistaken the name is CutePDF. Nway, most companies still prefer MS Words

Thanks for your info

But then is it safe to send the resume in MS words where is more vulnerable to being changed?

hi,

in your resume, do you put your manager as reference? does it create bad impression from manager?

Thanks you.

The question is who is going to change your resume? I believe if you send it to the correct person, then it will be use correctly. But then again, why would some stranger would like to change your resume?


Should be fine. But you have to ensure that person is capable of establishing your abilities and credibility.

for me. i'm prefer to send soft copy resume in PDF file (picture with colour) ... and put in manager (which closed) or your boss as a reference.. there's a lot of freeware PDF converter...

yerp sometimes some company will call references to ask bout you, thats y it quite important

if u freshie, ur pointer n xtra curriculum is important

Thanks to lax network security in my workplace, I accidentally had a good look at a bunch of resumes.
I notice many most applicants put their current supervisors as reference.
I wonder why is this so? Not afraid of boss finding out you're seeking employment elsewhere?
Pls enlighten me.

1) probably junior level staff, first job, so no prev. ref
2) interviewers usually sensible enough NOT to call current super unless the candidate say its orait.
3) wanna let their super know they are looking for job.

JPEG is better

Is it a good idea to include current and expected salary in the resume?
Most company i applied need me to state both info in my resume.... I always prefer to reveal my expected salary during interview....

just state negotiable for fresh graduate...

I've come to sense after all these years, that why should we put it in?
Like you mentioned; it can always be done during the interview itself.
When you've been in the industry long, the question to ask is "How much you can pay me?", directed towards the interviewer instead of the opposite of someone asking you what is your expected salary.
