On the last few lessons, my group members had the opportunity to present in class in a Peer-Teaching session on position search, resume writing and application letter writing. It was a good opportunity for us to present to our fellow classmates on what we have researched online on the different tips of how to write a better resume and application to wow our employers in the future.
What I will look on Mondays in a few years time.
Part of our assignment was to put what we have learnt into practice, so here are my resume and application letters for a job that I am "applying for". Take note that the employer is looking for a permanent position (whereas I'm still pursuing my studies in NUS) so just assume that I'm about to graduate!
I've made them into picture files so hopefully it's easy to read. If it's still too small, you can (right click + Open in New Tab) on the picture to see the actual size of the picture. The formatting is a little off (tried to fiddle with Microsoft Word but I eventually lost the battle) so I'll sort it out on a later date. Do let me know how I can improve!

Hi Xiujie,
ReplyDeleteRelevant details provided which matches pretty much what is required by the job. Just a few points, the description of skills are mostly iteration of what you have done to acquire those skills. Perhaps it would prove a stronger point to show examples on how you have applied those skills, and achieved something. Using Tommoy's suggestion: Competency-Action-Results.
