Question here.
On certain internet job application, they need up to upload our copy of certificate, passport and other document. Are they receiving only the scan copy or can we took a photos of the document and upload it? Since its very troublesome to scan all this document especially for those without scanner and hard to find shop that offer this service.. Need advice.. |

Skon9,
I think only they can answer you. Tell them you dont have access to a scanner and ask if they accept a photography of the documents. It is their preference what they want. Outsider's comment are just wild guesses. Virtual, I am not a computer guy. I would say your accomplishment section is impressive. I notice you have several grammar errors although you managed to communicated your points. Format of presentation may be the reason for lack of response. It is very lenghty.

QUOTE(faceless @ Oct 20 2010, 11:25 AM) Virtual, Since my accomplishment section managed to catch your attention then resume is not too bad i guess. You're right about grammar but it might not be the reason. Could it be because of HPC field which is very niche? I am not a computer guy. I would say your accomplishment section is impressive.

I have no idea what is HPC. If it is a niche labour market you already know the reason for your lack of response.

Hi all, need advice on how can I verify if my resume is good or bad? Currently I can't think of anyone around me that can help to review my resume. Should I find my ex boss to review my resume?
Thanks in advance. |

I would keep my resume short, precise and concise.
In Indian, people start doing video resume, which will convince the interviewer much better, it's like they can see yr personality before deciding to call u up for interview instead of doubt u and not callig u up. |

QUOTE(Shinichi @ Nov 17 2010, 10:53 PM) For me, expected salary I put Nego, while availability I put 2 months... maybe this the reason I'm not getting any call yet... I dont think so. Nego means they can still offer you something that is in their budget. If you are good the will wait two months or even buy your notice period. It is the content of your resume that did not cactch their interest.This post has been edited by faceless: Nov 18 2010, 10:23 AM |
