Designing a winning resume

Make your resume easy to read: this is fundamental to success, poorly designed resumes that  waste employers time searching for critical information risk rejection without review.

Every well written business document needs a formal structure: your resume should have all critical information such as when, where, why, how, who available to recruiters on page one.

Before you even think about emailing to employers; ask a friend to proofread; then spell-check your letter, then do it again, so be smart, be professional and get someone else to review, edit and revise your resume.

Use a brief, succinct style: this will market your skills instantly, plus highlights your written communication skills.

Size Limit

We recommend a limit of three pages; file size not to exceed 2ookb: at first glance most recruiters need less than 30 seconds to decide if they should keep reading your resume or move on to the next applicant.

We recommend you include a passport sized photo in your resume when applying for jobs in China, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam.

Name your document clearly: use first name/family name like John_Smith for example; be professional, never use Bills CV or my resume etc.

Resume design and content

Email job applications are really electronic interviews: good manners will create an excellent first impression, so be polite, be professional, don't wast time.

Easy to read structured information will impress; poorly designed resumes that  make employers search for critical information risk rejection without review.

Formatting

Eighty percent of Fortune 500 companies use online job application forms; allowing hiring managers access to keyword-searchable candidate databases.

Resumes with elaborate formatting, graphics, tables, borders, bullets are not suitable for use in forms: all formatting may be lost when converted to simple text.

How to test your resume for form compatibility: open your resume in MS word, then use (select all) command, copy then paste into MS Note Pad to check if your format will work when pasted into online job application forms.
