On the 2nd day, we were taught how to write a resume by looking at various examples given by the 2 speakers.

Being that I graduated from the United Kingdom, I never knew that writing a resume for job application in Malaysia is different from what I was taught to do in the UK. An example was that in the UK, no photo was required in the resume due to identity theft purposes. In Malaysia however, a photo is a must-have for the employer to see.

After lunch, we were given fictional profiles by the speakers and told to create a resume for them. Upon completion of the resumes, they were pasted on the walls for all to see and also for the speakers to correct them. We were told of our mistakes and ways to further improve our resumes.
