A resume is an essential stuff that will help you landing a job. Yes, that one piece of paper is really valuable, so you guys might want to re-check all those information and make sure that nothing is wrong. A simple yet dull and unattractive resume is so 90' and nobody's still doing that. 

Have you guys ever noticed out of hundreds resume, why there's no company call for an interview? "I'm qualified for that job and all my skills match with their requirement!" Well, there must be something wrong on your resume. After much Google-ing then this is the result. Yeap, it's because of the resume, no doubt. As you can see, this is the old template. Unattractive and looks very dull. It's like a piece of paper stated all information needed by the recruiter. That's all, no element of surprise or even fun. 

After recruiter read this resume, they'll straight away throw it. Why do they have to keep, right? Do you guys still remember during high school when friends asked for your bio? This is exactly what it looks like, right? Just lacking on colour and cartoon, isn't it? Yes, it's a simple and nice resume because all the info can be found but the main point here is you want to "sell" yourself. So how to do it?

 

What can I do to improve my resume?

Many applicants have been using this template ever since. They didn't realise that this is the main reason why they're not being called for an interview. The best solution here is to upgrade your resume to the next level! This method will not guarantee you to get the best result but at least, this can help you, though. So this is the new template and widely used by fresh graduates in seeking jobs. Check this out:

This small effort can guarantee you to get a phone call from the company! Look how all the information nicely put with different colour, images, and this way can create more space for your resume. How is that possible? Well, all those info that can be simplified using images, or symbols such as the measurement of skills, hobbies, or perhaps your social medias and etc. Let's compare between these two, which one is more attractive to you? 

 

"Who I am" is important

Despite all those edits, remember to not  forget about your necessary details "Who I am". Being creative doesn't mean that you have to cut all those important details. How is recruiter wants to know about you if your resume is not fully complete? Try to include a small biography at the top. 

You guys can learn from this resume on how the candidates explain on hobbies & interests, education, experience and all. See, being  creative doesn't mean you have to cut all those necessary details okay. So good luck in writing resume and happy hunting jobs!
