QUOTE(lowyatjobseeking @ Aug 21 2020, 08:52 AM) I was tasked to shortlist potential engineer candidates for my superior. Regardless of CV templates, the first thing we would do is jump straight to his/ her certification, next we scrutinize the academic results (ie how many A's in SPM, STPM, CGPA from college/ university) regardless of CV template If he/ she is shortlisted then we will call them up for interview to analyze the soft skills and problem solving skills. In short, creative CV template is good but will not help if the contents does not fulfill the requirements. |

QUOTE(filage @ Aug 31 2020, 09:42 AM) For experience posts, usually candidate don't put those results anymore right? For one, I don't. I used to put cgpa but i omitted that because I'm not a fresh grad anymore. Secondly, what is your opinion about putting company logo beside the job title and company. And does publishing screenshot of your past work, say you are a website builder so you append a few screenshot of your works. Does this improve your chances? And thirdly in very technical roles, is it wise to put in all the technical jargons that no average HR will usually understand, eg. SOAP, Kubernetes, Microservice architecture. 1) im still putting my cgpa results inside in case interviewer wants to know. 2) i dont put company logo despite working in 3 big MNCs. Your experience and achievements count i guess. 3) i think the website screenshots count toward achievements if you categorize them under another folder. 4) if you are in the same industry i guess it is ok to put industry jargon. I used to do that too. |

QUOTE(Rebecca2000 @ Sep 29 2020, 09:10 AM) Should I include a photo in a CV? I notice some CVs have a profile picture attached, but others do not. All advice here is appreciated, thanks in advance. this is a cultural question. in malaysia context, this depends on your company and the job you are going to apply. if you are applying for technical/ professional position, then a photo is not necessarily needed. but if you are applying for a sales or a position that requires to attract customers, then a photo is necessary. but in general, it is encouraged to attach your photo in the resume since it is also a sign of self confidence. |

QUOTE(roybreaker @ Oct 15 2020, 11:23 PM) If the job requirement stated need min. degree holder, is SPM, STPM results still relevant? In your case, you was shortlisting for an engineer. I assume the minimum qualification would be Diploma. If yes, why you say so? Hi roy, Its the result we are looking at, not minimum requirement. In malaysia, minimum requirement for an engineering position is bachelor degree. Lets say candidate A has cgpa 3.5 for bachelor degree in engineering. Candidate B has cgpa 2.5. Both are applying for technical position. Which will be likely to get chosen for upcoming interview? |

QUOTE(roybreaker @ Oct 15 2020, 11:53 PM) Hi, I think my question was not clear. What I meant to ask is the importance of SPM and STPM result in shortlisting the candidates. Yes for STPM or matriculation results. Not much for SPM. But if someone applying for technician or engineer assistant (lower qualification) then SPM and diploma results are also taken into consideration. |
