| get the job u want by starting to write powerful and attractive resume and cover letter! |
In this session, Mdm Norliza and Mdm Farah instructed us to write our resume and try to make it simple yet attracted for employer to notice our great personality and we are worthy to take into consideration.
The chosen words are very important in resume writing because we have only less than 45 seconds to make good impression to our potential employers. So, think carefully before u wrote! We must write a simple and direct style of writing in order to save reader time and most importantly, choose attractive layout information for better and easy grasp.
To write effective resume and cover letter, we must remember this 4 letters: N-A-S-H
N- Neatness
A- Accuracy
S- Simple
H- Honesty
Neatness is very crucial in resume writing because it make employer easy to get the information and present a nice resume to read, thus attracted them to read more information about us. We have to use clean type face on high quality paper and avoid italics type faces. Always used quality printer and avoid using ‘I’ in the resume. Remember this: Don’t exaggerate and do not alter the past or claims any skills that u don’t have. U will get into troubles if u don’t know how to answer the question in the interview session later.
FALLACIES ABOUT RESUME
1. Purpose of a resume is to list all your skills and abilities
2. A good resume will get u the job u want
3. Ur resume will be read carefully and thoroughly by an interested employer.
4. Write more good information and present about yourself.
FACTS: STIMULATE EMPLOYER INTEREST AND GENERATE AN INTERVIEW.
Do u know that the bare essential contents that employer expect to see in the resume are:
-name and address
-academic qualifications
-employment history
=>sell urself and promote ur skills, potentials and abilities!
