Your browser needs to allow Javascript to run this page. Since this is a client-based program, all information that you type in will not be recorded by my side. However, if you are still not convinced, you can just type in codes for now, then re-edit the final draft (psst. I won't be offended because I won't know). Hope you find this useful.

There are many jobsearch sites out in the internet where you can park your resumes for free. But remember to update it every few months, so your information won't get pushed to the bottom of the list when employers do their search.

Remember: Potential employers cannot know you personally just by reading your resume and CV, so if you are rejected, it is not a personal rejection. They just feel that you may not be happy working for them so find another place to send your application letter to.

How to use this form: Type in your information or comments in the space provided. The texts you see in the boxes are only guides to help you. Click [Done] once you have finished. A plain HTML page will pop up. Read the instructions carefully.


Some firms in Malaysia require that you provide information such as age, religion and marital status in your CV. However, you can choose to reveal them only during the interview itself, or when filling in the firm's application form.
