Could I ask the community for some tips on how to do up a good resume? Or are there any online tools to do so?

I'll be graduating in a year, and I think my resume looks kind of lame and boring. Any tips on how to improve on it?

Depends on the job you're applying for:

  1. If is social media / start up / new company.
  2. = Skip the documents resume and get dress, prepare the script and do up a video resume. This will allows you to stand out among all documents resume!
  3. if is SME / MNC:

= Back to documents resume, go sign up for a linked-in account. Search for top / best resume of the role that you're applying for, see and copy the way / style that it works.

Note: As you'll be fresh grad so you also need to google for more resume samples for fresh grad, since you don't have much work experience but more educational details.

Tips: Try to focus on your attachment / intern experience , highlight those!

Finally, the most important is to go for more interview, the more you go, the less nerveous you'll be and the more you'll know how to answer typical questions such as:

(a) Tell me about yourself.

(b) what do you see yourself in 5 years

(c) Tell me 3 strength / weakness that you have

Remember to research about the company and the jobs, look for points on the JD about what are they looking for and to link up what you can bring to the table to resolve their problems!

Think about yourself as a Product, try to sell yourself to the company! That's how you should focus on it! :)

i know it's a no-no in regards to putting various photos inside a resume, but because i kept changing jobs, i thought a photo collage depicting happy moments i experienced at all my jobs would tell my story better than a chronological description of my jobs. i also inserted three photos in the last section to showcase my personal passions.

not saying that you die-die have to include photos, but my experience goes to show that there really isn't one fixed way. just chew over it and think about how you can make it more creative and just go for it

these days, a lot of graduates like to present their resume in the style of an infographic. looks sleek and succinct and easy to read. this could be you!

I tend to have a standard resume (report style) that contains all my necessary data. (education, ski...
