Salam. Dalam proses saya belajar cara buat resume dan interview semua. Antara maklumat yang paling penting, bukan sekadar nak buatkan resume kita ni appealing sahaja. Maksud saya, dari segi pemilihan warna. Template resume apa nak guna. Bukan itu sahaja..
Malah ada juga perkara lain yang tak kurang penting nya.
Iaitu case study..
Atau pun, dalam huaraian yang lebih panjang.
Ialah result apa yang telah berlaku sebelum ni. Supaya kita boleh jadikan iktibar dan tak buat salah pada resume kita juga..
Saya dapat kumpul banyak juga bawah ni, korang baca satu persatu dan saya akan terangkan cara nak apply kannya..
Interesting facts about Resumes:
• The average time spent by recruitement managers for analyzing a resume is: 5 to 7 seconds. (maksudnya, jangan buat resume yang design boring, biar template resume korang nampak standout)
• Unprofessional email addresses are the reason for rejection of 76% of resumes.(jangan guna email yang tak profesional, macam cutegirl88@gmail.com. Sebaliknya guna username yang lebih profesional. Macam email saya, syedshaffizan@gmail.com)
• When you put a photo on a resume the chances of getting discarded are up to 88%. ( maksudnya, letak gambar tu hati hati, bagi yang sengeh sengeh sikit )
• During the year 2014, over 90% of resumes are made available on online or sent via email. ( maksudnya, apply kerja online sama ada by website form, atau by email sangat tinggi. Itu tahun 2014 tau. 2017? 2018? Lagi tinggi lah kot. So sebabkan cara ni ramai orang guna, so jangan buat juga. Sebaliknya anda guna cara lama. Dengan print resume tu, dan hantar terus ke mana mana company. Unless kalau company tu memang prefer email )
• It is worthy to note that only 35% of the candidates are eligible for the jobs they apply to. ( Ibaratnya katakan yang apply 1000 orang, dalam 350 sahaja yang betul betul layak. So, korang kena buat resume yang betul betul target kalau boleh. Jangan buat satu resume, untuk cover 30 jenis jawatan pula, buatkan resume anda lebih specifik)
