It would be better is you just state in the CV as Jan 2009 to June 2009 with no indication of months.

i would like to ask if we should put our pic both on CV and resume ?
or?
then must put CV as the 1st page after that jz follow with resume issit?

CV short for Curriculum Vitae is another term for resume or to be exact, resume is another term for CV.

Anyway, if it's not requested; why want to attach picture?

er.. i know~~
i mean.. do i put my CV as the 1st page or resume as the 1st page?
i thgt a photo is always issential?

Now you're making me confuse. On one hand you say you know on the other hand, what do you really want to ask?

You put your particular first than followed by job experience and education details.

If you meant Cover letter vs Resume/CV; than obviously Cover Letter is always the first page.

And no, photo is not essential to most company.
One would only request for photo after hiring; for record purposes.

sorry for making u confuse

payslip - up to you. i dont mind showing, the money is mine anyway. HR want to verify u are not lying about ur salary.

expected sal: most ppl put monthly salary excl. bonus as basic.

bonus is up to u to factor in. end of day, wat is the anual pakej u want, then divide by 12 lor.


Similarly, 2001 - 2009 is 8 or 9 yrs? Not much diff to the hirer, really.



Right on top, let them see your face.

U be suprise , sometime whether u get interview anot depend on pic also.

A photo can give a good impression to hirer. u're not anon, are you?

Hello guys, I've just sent a copy of my resume and cover letter via e-mail. The problem is, I forgot to mention my expected salary in both the cover letter and resume as requested in the ad. I only noticed it after I sent my application

Will that hurt my chances of getting shortlisted?

usually its not a problem when u do not state expected salary, they'd use ur current sal as a gauge, but more importantly,

they'd see if u fit the job description in the first place.

^You mean the requirements? I guess I fit. Now I'm just hoping to secure an interview with them.

Thanks and nice tits.

Just join jobstreet, and fill in your details, then their system got a resume format generate out for you, that would be a good starting point.

Attach it will be better as the HR personnel might need to print it out for references

i'd put the cover letter as email content, and attach both cover letter and resume.

Hi

I graduated last year, i have good extra curricular record, but past one year working for good company in an interesting position.

I am wondering do i still needs my extra curricular in my resume?

i believe you should write more on the skills that you have learned and been practicing in your current position.

I'm a fresh grad that graduated in an overseas institution and will be returning to KL next month. I am trying to update my resume to fit into the malaysian criterias. I heard from many friends that the format in Malaysia is a little different where often they ask for your expected salary and request for you to write down your previous salary. Also they often ask for a picture.

So my question is, do you convert your previous salary? do you add the picture in with your resume or clip it on top of your resume?? Its so weird because this is so discriminative as if they are hiring base on your looks and your expected price. I'm still at the confused stage with the hiring practices in malaysia. Can someone be good enough to enlighten me??

I'm graduated from us and I don't include my picture and my expected salary. Unless the person contact me and really need it.and as far as i've experience without those two never really actually hurt my chances in getting interviews and everything.

My resume is also kept short,1 page as per the us standard.

i usually dun include my picture.
