Well, we all have to start somewhere, right? What do you think was on our resumés when we applied for our first jobs?Originally posted by kopiosatu:Resume means writing a story about my life? I got a d7 for my 'O' levels English!!! But I get what you mean, I thought they would like to see a whole lot of paper qualification.
I do not know how CVs are structured in Singapore, but resumés here aren't just about work experiences and paper qualifications. They usually also include information such a club memberships, professional affiliations, certifications and hobbies.
A resumé is a living document; it evolves and grows as we build work and life experiences. But it has to start somewhere.

I bet you missed Rhonda now. She's the only one who can give you the "antidote". I don't know about "confession of a chocolate-eating Bear" so don't know what remedy to advice. Okay, but I can shout for you :Originally posted by the Bear:okay.. feeling kinda sick now

I'll have to say sports. But sports photography requires really high end equipment.Originally posted by Fatum:is there a niche that you're into ? ... like nature, wildlifee or sports photography etc ? ....
I can't do weddings that well because I don't have any feelings for it. But if I was asked to shoot I would try my best.
Nature... hmmm no eye for that at all!
Wildlife, I would love to work for Nat Geo
I guess what appeals to me now would be people. -
I went to JB and got my dose of chocolate milkshake~Originally posted by the Bear:muahaahahahah

mmm..

going around, looking and describing critters -
I'm not trying to be cruel nor smart but sometimes, making excuses for ourselves makes us lazy. You must inject energy, passion and desire.Originally posted by kopiosatu:hahaha, i've got long working hours... by the time i reach home i'm more than half-dead.

You like sports, right? If that's your interest then follow that route. Surf the addresses of Sports mag, news, any form of media. Write to them, make cold calls. Thick skin a bit. Not thick then use sand paper buah buah a bit. -
you gotta make it yourself...
chocolate milkshake is easy... get rich belgian chocolate ice cream, full cream fresh milk and a bottle of hershey's choc fudge..
throw them all into a blenderOriginally posted by kopiosatu:I went to JB and got my dose of chocolate milkshake~
