The new Jobsbank at jobsbank.gov.sg offers quite a decent resume
generation service. Now with Singpass - instead of Singfail -
pseudo single sign-on, anybody that is an adult Singaporean
probably should consider using it to seek jobs.
CVs kept me busy over the past decade, because even though I
know and recall clearly what ought to be in a CV, the lousy CVs are
the ones that kept head-hunters and human resource in their jobs
because it gives them something to criticise about if we get bored
talking about the haze or the neck-tie. If one does a really
good CV, which also is recommended for freshies, one makes the
interview room look better.
Still recall awhile back when I was going through some placards
at Republic Polytechnic, those were web designers seeking related
jobs, and they made the exhibition really nice when their
placard-resumes look like professional websites printed out
including their emails, mobile phones, and screenshots of academia
portfolios. Honestly being an industry expert interviewing kids
give me more meaning at times than being an employee attending
conferences.
