Hello, I’m Indonesian interested in working in Singapore. I have 2.5 years of experience in food packaging and a few months as a warehouse packer in Taiwan. I’ve applied to 26+ jobs (some in production operations), but many were marked as “Unlikely to progress” or “Expired.” Could this be because I didn’t include a photo in my resume or because I’m still living in Batam? Any advice on improving my applications would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hey, I’m helping my friend write his resume but honestly his English really suxx. I’m worried that during the interview, his English won’t match the resume and the interviewer might realise someone else wrote it for him. How leh? Should I simplify the resume or just be honest? So stress liao!

I have a strong interest in e-commerce/admin/sales. I have customer service and I’m able to do basic video editing and product listing using my phone. While I don’t have prior experience, I’m highly motivated to learn and adapt quickly. I sincerely hope to be given an opportunity to grow and contribute. :)

I’m seriously considering paying someone to write my resume. 🤔 I’ve heard it can help make your CV stand out and look more professional, but is it actually worth the money? Has anyone here paid for resume writing services? Did it help land you a job or was it just a waste of cash? Trying to figure out if it’s a smart move or if I should just keep tweaking it myself. Honestly pretty tired of tweaking since 10 months ago. No offer yet hence why im thinking of using paid service.

Genuinely asking, can a resume be TOO perfect? 🤔 I once crafted mine like a well-oiled machine, but then I got feedback saying it felt ‘too polished’ and not authentic enough. They actually thought I asked chatgpt to write mine! I was honestly shocked but a bit proud as well haha. But really, shouldn't resume be a flawless work, or should it have a little bit of personality and "mistakes" to stand out from the crowd? 🤷‍♀️ How do you balance the line between professional and being yourself?

I've been eyeing my dream job for a while now, and I’m finally ready to apply. The only problem? I’m unsure whether I should submit a cover letter along with my resume or not. I’ve seen their job ads where they don’t explicitly ask for one, but I don’t want to risk missing out on showing my passion for the role. Is applying without a cover letter acceptable nowadays, or does it look incomplete? I want to make the best impression possible, but I’m just not sure what’s expected.

I’ve always wondered about the difference between a CV and a resume? As I’m updating my application materials, I keep hearing that I should tailor both differently, but I’m confused. Is a CV more detailed and academic while a resume is shorter and more job-focused? Do I need both for every job application, or should I choose one over the other depending on the role? Anyone have a clear understanding of when to use which?

I’m at a crossroads with my CV. I’ve got a lot of experience across different areas, but now I’m struggling to figure out what to exclude. I feel like every experience is valuable and paints a complete picture of who I am as a professional. But at the same time, I don’t want to overwhelm recruiters with too much info. What should I leave out? How do you decide which experience to showcase and which to skip? I need some advice here!
