Is a Singapore Resume Different from Other Resumes?

Generally speaking, a Singapore resume is similar to resumes you can find anywhere. However, depending on the job applied, Singaporean employers may also pay attention to information such as your address, co-curricular activities, additional spoken or written languages, and national service experience for guys. You can create amazing resumes that include these custom information with the Amazing Resume Creator.

Your address

Some employers prefer the potential employee to be someone who is living near the workplace. In fact, many job advertisement specify whether the job is in the East or West or near a particular estate. It would be good to include your address if you are applying for a job near your home and the job advertisement specifies a location.

Extra-curricular activities or Co-curricular activities

Singaporeans who go through the mandatory 10 year education system will no doubt be familiar with the extra-curricular activities (ECA) or co-curricular activities (CCA) that every student is required to participate in. If your ECA (or more commonly referred to as CCA nowadays) is relevant to your job or if you have a leadership role in your CCA, be sure to include it in your resume for extra points.

Additional languages spoken

Singaporeans are at the very least bilingual although it's debatable whether they can communicate effectively in both. If you are able to speak or write in English and your mother tongue fluently or both, it may be a good idea to include this ability in your resume. 

National Service experience (for guys)

If you are a guy, some employers may want to look at your Certificate of Service (COS) to confirm that you have completed National Service (NS) as they do not want to hire someone who is still serving NS.

Additional, if you have any other certificates that demonstrate leadership skills or testimonials from your superiors, it might be a good idea to include them too.
