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: Highlight your most notable achievements. Where appropriate, quantify them, e.g. achieved a 20% increase in sales within the first year of service.

Tips: List your key deliverables on the job. Remember to use verbs or ‘action’ words, e.g. “initiated”, “implemented”, “supervised”, “managed”.

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.
