Hi - Welcome to Got A Phing? In today's podcast, I want to talk about what you need to fix in your resume as well as your LinkedIn profile - if you're using it as your online resume.

As you guys know I've been a Director at Standard Chartered Bank for some time and as part of my role, I was also the hiring manager for my team located in Singapore as well as globally.

One thing that people don't fully recognise is the hiring manager or HR team really only spends 10 seconds reviewing your resume - yes, that's right - 10 seconds!

Because most of the time these people are busy - just like how I was really busy and when I receive a pack of 30 resumes from HR I had to take time away from my day's priorities to review the profiles. So, how much do you think is allocated since everyone is really busy?

It's really important for you to understand that your resume needs to be written in a way that makes it easy to read. I have seen many fresh graduates and jobseekers receiving incorrect advice that that their resume template needs to be very fancy - this is not true. And, so many other things.
