Resume Resume is different from CV Sell yourself Format (1 page unless you have STRONG reason to go to 2 page) 10 seconds highlight Focus on result, NOT process Start with action word, shows you are doing, not talking

Must show your determination (that you are working towards your goal), although Career Objective is Optional in the Resume Selective working experience BUT no big loss in time continuity Tailor made (highlight matching criteria, no rubbish) Rubbish means EASY achievement, so put only relatively scarce experience Brief ACTIVE description of each experience

May put hobbies (if special) Don’t make Resume too Mechanical Fair game: Everything on the Resume must be ready to be discussed, if you are unsure how to explain a particular point, DON’T put that on resume

Cover Letter Format: SHORT and CONCISE PLAIN English, no technicals Shows strong intention, common sense or knowledge in the first paragraph Highlight matching in the 2 nd paragraph Optional:highlight your comparative advantage (that average grad doesn’t have) in 3 rd paragraph Short, polite and strong ending
