baiklah, semasa menulis resume, penting utk kita ketahui:

 Determine who is reading ur resume
 Write what d reader (employer) wants to hear
 Make ur resume easy to read
 Write a resume with substance and depth…(mendalam dan tepu dgn maklumat)

Kdg2 kt hntar resume, tp xdterima….knapa eh??? Sebabnya…………

 Ur resume Is too general
 U don’t use keyword
 Ur resume contains typos or grammatical goofs (nti aku terangkan)
 U really aren’t qualified for d job u’re applying for…

Manakala isi kandungannya pula…should be..

a) The cover letter
b) The resume
 The basics
 The heading
 Obj section
 Education section
 Experience section
 Additional/other info section
c) Choose d best words for ur resume
d) Watch ur formatting
e) Typos on resume can cost u a job
f) Attachment
