Matagal na akong nahihirapan mag-ayos ng resume ko dahil parang ang dami kong gustong ilagay pero walang malinaw na structure. Sa course na ito, malinaw na tinuro kung paano ayusin ang work history mula sa pinakabago papunta sa luma, at kung paano i-highlight yung mga achievement sa halip na basta i-list ang mga tungkulin. Yung mga example na ipinakita ay talagang malaking tulong dahil nakita ko agad kung paano i-apply sa sarili kong resume. Medyo mabilis lang yung bahagi tungkol sa cover letter kaya kailangan ko pang maghanap ng ibang resources doon. Pero overall, lumabas ako na may bagong resume na mas malinaw at mas propesyonal ang dating.

Corso utile per capire come organizzare le esperienze lavorative in modo piรน efficace invece di elencarle a caso. La parte sugli achievement misurabili mi ha aperto gli occhi, anche se avrei voluto qualche esempio in piรน per settori creativi.
