APPLICATION TIPS
CRAFTING YOUR RESUME Quickly grab recruiters’ attention by effectively communicating why you are suitable for the job.
Customise each and every resume sent out First and foremost, tailor your resume to the firm and role you are applying to. Make it obvious that you have made a genuine effort to think about what the company is looking for, and what makes you their best candidate. Conduct your own thorough research and do not forget to check individual employers’ application procedures – some may have specific requirements. For instance, HSBC’s website details the specific format, sections and details applicants are to include in their resume. If you are indicating a career objective at the top, pay special attention to it. Remember to keep it simple and state your ambition like: “Valedictorian from Nanyang Business School with strong analytical skills seeking an internal audit position at a leading MNC.”
