You are great! You are asking a question with an obvious answer and you can complain that people are rude to you. Talk about rude what happen to "thank you for answering the question". Was the answer in any way a "/k style" type of answer?

This is a forum where questions and answers flows in. If you think that you are giving the best answer and not rude at all, I just have to say thank you very much for your excellent answer and continue of giving your best advice/ answer to whoever who need it in this forum. You are the best! man.

I did not say I gave the best answer. At least I did not give you a typical answer that you can expect from /k. That would be rude. You are just sensitive that you labelled as whining.

Hi guys.
There is a job application where it requires to write down the current and expected salary.
How do I write it in the resume? Are current and expected salary should be in a resume?

I had disclosed salaries from all companies under employment history. I never indicated expected salary because I felt that it was inappropriate for the resume as well as the cover letter. Usually they will have the question in their application. I had always filled in "negotiable".

how to write in your resume about youur medical condition?

So are you advocating getting the HR's name or not? Seems like your statements are contracdicting.

To be honest those HR people I know tend to discount cover letters. I think its something of a legacy practice already.

debbieyss: It all depends on your situation and also your effort. If you put more effort, you definitely can get the HR's name. If not, just put it as 'Dear Hiring Manager' . Hope this will help.

I am not impress if a person whom I do not know can put my name on the cover letter.
What is so difficult about getting the HR Manager's name. Call up and ask the receptionist.
Most HR manager sees a letter from a person whom they do not know yet they can address him/her by name knows the candidate just called the company to ask a simple "what is your HR manager's name?".

Would that impress you? It certainly does not impress me. I would be more keen on how you present yourself on paper (resume) before I call you to present yourself in person (interview).

What am I advocating? Do what you like. Put my name on the cover letter and write an average resume means no interview for you. If you dont know my name but can write an impressive resume, I would look forward to seeing you.

Has anybody write their resume in landscape instead of portrait orientation? Wonder what's interviewer's view about it...

You can try to be different. If the content of you resume is not impressive they will just say "stupid" and throw your resume in the bin.

I've never heard of/seen one before.
Personally I think that it might be OK if you are in the creative industries, otherwise I would prefer to avoid it and just stick to the conventional portrait format.
But why do you want to try it in the first place ? Is it because you want to fit in more information with this layout or is it simply because you want to differentiate yourself ?

Hi guys. How is the cover letter format gonna be if it was sent by email?
Do I still need to include in the my address/company address?
Usually I apply through write-in but some companies demanded email application.
So I am confused now on how will the format of the email will be.
Any advise? Thanks.

it's not necessary to include ur add or the co. address, wont be wrong if u wan to include though. Afterall u r going to attach ur detailed CV too, they can get ur details from there. The more important thing is the content.

good 1

is that cv letter body good enough? I wonder whether I should include the reason why I apply for the position.
- close to house, about 2 km travel. My motorcylce road tax end about a month ago...so this is plus point
- I'm interested in biz administration and management and I plan to further study in MBA after 3-4 years of working. I'm 24 yo btw.
- I did small biz selling dadih and help my brother car wash shop from Jan to June but felt something is lacking thus I decide to look for a job, and this job catch my attention since I think I could learn a lot from this job.

extra info: salary is about RM1K. Location at East Peninsular. I'll be living with family, so I didn't care much about the 1K salary.

Thank you cathy82. I have already prepared the email.
This is the format which I will be sending.

If I am the interviewer, I will not hire you.
I want a clerk not a graduate. Come Sep2011 you will start looking for job that best suit your qualification.

Apply for a job that require graduate qualifications. Convocation is just a formality. You can use your result to show that you have graduated.

well, this is good enough... good luck in your job application
