recently graduated in IT, still looking for job..
let's see.. i'm not good in programming, everything i've learnt was "half-bucket", average student, minimum skills..

kinda ashamed at looking at my own resume actually..
2-page, education along with subject studies minus results/scores, working experience (unrelated to studies, during break between 2nd and 3rd year), interest, languages, extra-curricular activities during school days..
not even sure what soft skills i have and technical skills with pretty low experience.. well, did not include those..

whenever i read the job;s requirement or details, i kinda like chicken-out from applying because i do not have the strong knowledge of the required skills even though i know what are they..
wonder if i will get a job like that.. huh.gif

Yes you can and expect to be trained a little as well. If you think that you were a poor student during your university days, you have to work hard now to prove your worth.

Include your past job experiences in your resume although it may not seem relevant but believe me, any type of working experience can be handy and useful. Even if it was for a waiter/waitress or even a librarian. For example working as a waiter allows you to learn proper communication skills when communicating with customers, librarian allows you to practice efficiency, etc..etc..Never underestimate your work experiences.

Also include in the programming languages you can work with or other type of applications you are well versed in.

thanks for the advice..
recently, my uncle recommend me for a job as a 3G instructor in ericsson..
well, i know the basic stuffs such as IP, network, etc. and if i need to stand in front of many professional people, this i can make myself use to it since i've used to giving project presentation during my college years.. still i'm not very confident enough to be able to do the job well..

previously, i was kinda reluctant at relatives/friends recommending jobs to me because if i'm not doing the job well.. dun want to 'pai seh' the ppl who recommended me the job.. but since i'm kinda interested to work in ericsson (definitely not for the name's sake of course).. i accepted my uncle's offer..

as for now, i still dun have to confidence though.. huh.gif

P.S. Sorry for posting this in this thread which are suppose to discuss about resume and cover letter.. tongue.gif
