a website and portfolio should be included as an additional
as it gives the hiring manager an options to look into
first section should be a name, contact information and professional email
HOW TO PROPERLY WRITE A JOB DESCRIPTION
backup with numbers if possible
E.g: Organize an introductory program attended by 3,500 incoming freshmanelped to book four professional speakers and workshop leaders.
highlights achievements rather than duties
WHERE TO PUT YOUR EDUCATION SECTION?
if you are in college or just got out of college, put it before the work experience
however, as a general rule, impressive experience is gonna matter the most companies more than the school we attended
comes after work experiences
DO YOU NEED THE SKILLS SECTION?
useful if you have specific certifications or skills that the job is looking for
don't include if all you're going to include s something like general terms
don't put soft skills terms
depends on who you are
EXTRACURRICULARS AND AWARDS
can bolster the work experience section
essentially a non-pathetic way of writing hard working on you resume
might not convey specific skills but convey other traits that recruiters are definitely looking for
ORDERING YOUR WORK EXPERIENCES
should be putting the most relevant experience first
make sure the resume are tailored to every single position you apply for
the more work, the more worth it
WHAT IF I DON'T HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE?
Experience paradox = many jobs needs to have experiences but you need to have a job to get expriences
join a short course relating to what you want to be. E.g: a web developer
spend time and make effort to become master in what we want to be and include in the resume or post in online
SHOULD YOU INCLUDE YOUR GPA ON YOUR RESUME?
if GPA is 3.2 below, do not put it in the resume
as we do't want it to show our flaws to the companies
if GPA is 3.2 above, put that in the resume
