Adding a photo to your resume In my humble opinion, I am neutral to whether there is an advantage to adding a photo. I would just like to remind everyone that in case you do add your photo, please ensure it is a recent photo (less than 6 months) and is taken professionally. I have seen...

Reached 100 resume / cover letter target Hi Bros Personally I have enjoyed talking to each of you who needed some pointers and help. Given that there are now many applications, it would be good to have a good resume of good readability and emphasis on your strengths to get that desired job...

What's the relevance? I am not getting anything out of this.:confused:

In these depressed business conditions, the competition for jobs will be more intense. In the past, a cover letter and a well-written resume should get u at least an interview. In these days, there may be a need for a reference or referral letter from your ex-manager. Unfortunately, most of them...

Very true and well said bro, When u r employed, u worry about getting the sack. When u run ur own biz, u manage the risk but also have greater responsibilities, like ensuring that u have enough money for employee payroll and rental expenses etc. The thing I really hate is to lay off good...

Given the current uncertainty, there is little that separates between getting a job or starting your own business although there are different elements of problems and risks. If u are your own boss, u can't get the sack but ur biz may go bust. If u are employed, u never know when u will be...

Thanks for the kind comments. :)

From the emails I have received (29 and counting), I can empathise with the respondents on the difficulties of the job market and what needs to be done to get an interview. Drastic times calls for special efforts and details. Cheers and good luck :)

I am helping folks who really needs help and have no time for this. Pls save your comments to other threads. U obviously do not know or can feel the stress of unemployed and looking for a job.

My thanks to bros Maxtor and Angelo who has expressed their appreciation. Am glad to help. My modus operandi is simple. Show me what you have now (cover letter and/or resume). Depending on the level of detail of information provided, I would redraft/edit and email it to you, with some...

I would appreciate if those who doubt this thread ignore it rather than to pass snide comments which served no purpose to a job seeker (but maybe to depressed them further). For the record, I have just finished my sixth resume for folks who believe in me.

Who is asking for to reveal private information?? I don't even want to know the name, address, contact and companies. Resume writing is a skill like learning Adobe Photoshop. U can pick up and learn from books and samples but it there is a difference between a novice and an experienced...

U don't have to denote that your work eg: for IBM Singapore as a IT engineer. Just put "ABC, one of the biggest IT companies in the world." In fact, a headhunter when seeking out candidates for a company would often shield the current and previous companies of the candidate if he/she requests...

Read the thread carefully, all your concerns have been discussed. I don't need the information in the resume. U can masked out all confidential information. EVERYONE has already considered INFORMATION PRIVACY, thank you.

I personally feel that this is one of the reasons why FTs have an advantage esp if they are proficient in English. A resume is just an entry to a job recruitment process.

FYI, just helped two bros with their cover letters and resumes with the last 24 hours. All the best to them. :)

Here we go again....:rolleyes: Believe me, a headhunting company has enough resumes and CVs on their desks now. The supply is 10 times more than the demand, and their websites are automated to receive all resumes. If I am a headhunter, I don't have the time to edit ur resumes, I will be...

This is true. The resume is only the entry ticket. The rest is up to the individual on how desperate he is for the job. Look from the employer perspective. This is the buyer (employer) world today. So I will screen thru the resumes, select a few and try to get the best for the price I can...

It is really disappointing to learn of such paranoia and indifference our society today. If I asked for a fee to edit a resume, I am profiteering, if I do it for free, then there is a catch somewhere. Damn if I do and damn if I don't. :( For bros in need of help to seek employment, pls send...

Just trying to help. If I can help one more person get employed, I think there will be one less family in financial distress and anxiety. BTW, just finished the first resume from a bro who emailed me. Hope he will find it useful.
