Back from Long Hiatus: Again, Interview

So, we have covered the first part of the interview here: First Impression: On Paper.

Still on paper, and it is going to be quite short, I guess.

It is actually best to list down the work experiences as concise as possible. For those involved in jobs like writing or web designing, it is also best to include your portfolio. It is nice and all to hear ourselves talking about our achievements, but a proof will be so much better.

In putting down the words in the resume, wordplay is extremely important. I'm sharing a page detailing 222 action verbs for the resume Resume Cheat Sheet: 222 Action verbs to use in your resume. Do check it out.

HR goes through hundreds of resumes; refrain from tiring them. Opt for bullet points instead of long lengthy paragraphs (unless needed).

There is no one-size-fits all solution for everyone but I seriously hope we can all learn something from here. Drop me a comment for those who wish to have this written in Malay.

Have a nice weekend people.
