Is it wise to hand in the hardcopy of my resume directly to the office rather sending through e-mail?

Any HR people here can advice?

Thanks.

depends on what the company prefers. most MNC's will only entertain online resume.
if you have the hr contact, just give them a call and ask what they prefer.

For cover letter what is my current position i use present and past tense for older things that might need to be mentioned.

however for CV, i dont think there is a right or wrong, its up to your preference, personally i prefer present tense. since its already being listed by year, so in that time period that is whats happening

I hear that one should submit resume, cover letters or CV in Words format but I have a dilemma here.
Its because I am a young professional qualification holder & its grading system is very different than degree, which it is papers based.
Companies in UK or US recognised these problem but when I look at Malaysia companies its all about CGPA & education history.

Those can be easily formatted in words but my Prof Cert comes in respective papers with grading marks & sessions attemped attached.
So a tabling format is more convenient & systematic & there is no problem when I send hardcopies directly but certain org only accept online.

So my main enquiry is can I use Excel for the tabling format or I should stick with Word for safety. Damn long with words but only minutes in excel & way more systematic too but since everyone use words but they are degree holders so,...... please advice. Thank you.

not at all, in fact the preferred format for data transfer is pdf.

even if in the rare case word document is specified, you can embed your excel sheet in word, or just copy/create the table in word.
