Tips: Be specific about the position and field of your interest. Ensure that your objective is in line with your resume content. Demonstrate the value that you can bring to the organization, not what you hope to get out of the job. Keep it concise.

Tips: Organise your professional experience and skills according to broad categories, e.g. Leadership, Sales, Customer Service, Training, etc. Be specific about your involvement and achievements under each category. Use verbs or “action” words and where appropriate, quantify your achievements.

e.g. Graduate Diploma in Marketing Management, Singapore Institute of Management, 1999.

Tips: These could be software and language skills, or any other skills that are relevant to the job that you are applying for, e.g. project management, public speaking or writing skills.

Tips: Include one or two individuals who would be able to provide valuable comments about your professional capacity. Remember to inform these contacts that you are putting them as your referees.
