your involvement with NGO will do good for your resume no doubt -

you kena buat under - work experience - VOLUNTEER - and if can substantiate with certs
with be an added advantage -

i ...

thanks dexa

takderla hebat.. simple je.

mostly yg i buat for community service. training pula i kena bagi dlm bidang customer service/ computer/ counselling / security/ office tasks / health n safety.. memacam

.
i punya resume nie ala2 carca marba... sbb bukan tertumpu satu bidang je dulu time i keja n volunteer.

i hope la lepas nie i dpt keja .. takder sapa ke nak hire i?

nak tanya lagi... keja nie bukan permenant. mostly part time tp all time kalau i tukar... more pd promotion la kan

so i get involved ngan semua2 nie lebih kurang 3 years or so... so kira pengalaman kerja nie i bubuh years i kerja je ke or campur sekali ngan volunteer? muskil .

tgh timbang nie...

de nada...

well the more involvement you are with various societies or companies as a volunteer the better..
and the most important thing is state what were your task and job description during the volunteer..
if you can xerox the cert or anything connection with your volunteering would be excellent -

i am sure lots of companies would be glad to have you as their employee.. so just hang in there
and try to write a presentable resume -

well - that's okay re: part time .. so, state that reason of leaving : PART TIME BASIS.. and the experience
you gain in each place is very fruitful.. -

pengalaman kerja - the whole thing = work + volunteer

for instance : eva kerja part time for 2 years.. and eva volunteer for 3 years
working experience = 5 years -

remember - volunteer itself is a work experience -

thanks dexa.. I got one cert je dr NGO tu.. Volunteer of the Year

no joking but true.. as long as bagi commitment ngan dorang... insya Allah dpt la satu cert ciput

nanti la i check balik dlm i punya folder... ada juga dua tiga info important i kena check balik dan tulis balik... like training yg i dpt from my work place.

resume yg i tulis sekarang nie sangat sempoi. no wonder i blom dpt interview

jangan panjang sangat -
the best resume would be 2-3 pages -

good point -

tak payah tulis all the courses your took -
that's really unnecessary - tu depa can find out
when they meet you - and they will have a drift what
kind of courses based on your degree too -

- write and focus more on your experience and skills -

hi melly..

kalau company suruh email kan resume -
make sure  attached kan :
1. cover letter
2. resume.

kat email tu letak SUBJECT:
Job Application : xxxxx

tulis -

Dear Sir/Madam

Attached are my resume and cover letter for your perusal.

Thank you.

Regards,
MellyZ

tu aje - tak yah tulis panjang2..... nak tulis differently
pun okay..  point is  mesti mentioned - ada resume dan
cover letter  attached kat email tu.. --

tapi jangan lupa lak ATTACHED cover letter dan resume tu.. ye..

ur resume shld be different according to the job u requested...

masa aku keja tpt lama..kami tadak admin..tadak HR..
so aku kena buat semua..wlaupun aku jadik webmaster..huhu..sadis..

so ada skali ni boss aku advertise kat jobstreet..
utk post creative designer..
dia suruh aku sortkn semua resume..
ada lebih kurang 200++ applicants..

request dia senang jek..
give me only the outstanding resume...
mula2 aku penin gak la baca resume yg byk tuh..
masa dah 50++ resume..
aku ternmpak 1 resume..
lain dr yg lain..
dia buat cam flyers...
byk kaler...ada cth graphic n portfolio..
mmg lain dr yg lain...
masa tu trus boss i pointed..that's an outstanding resume..
at last kami jumpa 6 resume yg btul2 outstanding...
n most of them just dip holder..
mana resume yg skema2..kami tolak tepi....

conslusionnya..kalau post yg dimintak berkaitan ngan creativity,
cuba tjkkan kekreatifan anda melalui resume...
peluang lebih luas..
tp kalau post biasa2..cam programmer ka..akauntant ka..
stick to the conventional resume...
fancy resume only applicable for creative position..

1 lg tip...

kalau mintak kerja thru JObstreet.com...
kadang2 certain employer ada bg alamat ofis..
or email...
dont apply online..
write-in or email...

cos apply online..maybe ada ratus2 applicant..
in the end..employer takkan tgk dr situ..
dia just amik mana yg antar thru emel or write-in
put more effort in ur application..
u wont regret it
