English for Career Development by Mareta Fauziah (Week 2)

 

Overview of Week 2 Material.

After identifying the job of interest in week 1 material, the next step is to apply for the position. Many jobs expect to send a resume, or a written description of qualifications, and work experience. In this second week, I'll study the steps necessary to produce a professional-looking resume.

A resume is an important document that describes our work experience, education, and skills. 3 (three) reasons we need a great resume:

1. The first is a great resume will get the attention of the employers and show why we are a good match for the job.

2. The second reason we need a great resume is that it communicates our strongest skills and accomplishments to a future employer.

3. The third and most important is gets we an interview.

            In make a resume, we must make our resume easy to read. The first thing we can do is make sure that our resume has each of the following key parts:

1. Name and contact details

example of name and contact details.

2. Headline and summary

example of headline and summary.

3. Work experience

4. Education
