International Exposure

A map plus a few push pins would be perfect to visualize your international exposure. Make sure you don’t just name the places you’ve been to, but cover the following key points:

(1) Cultural differences and how you deal with those?(2) How did you deal with the changes in lifestyle, and solve the problems

you faced?(3) How are you going to apply what you’ve learned in your venture in the

position you are applying for

Development Path

Lists are boring! Tables are slightly better. Consider using a GRAPHIC TIMELINE to visualize your academic and career development.

(1) Show only 3 to 6 milestones, less is more! Your resume is not a memoir!(2) Choose your milestones wisely… Think about the position you are

applying and select appropriate milestones to impress your future employer

(3) Don’t just focus on academic achievements , they should be covered in your front page – the typical resume!

(4) Insert pictures to make it more eye-catching

Your Understanding of the Job

Show your future employer that you do have an in-depth understanding of the position you are applying. “dissect” the position into 3 to 5 critical success factors (CSF) and present them in a diagram like those that follow.

(1) Consult those who are already in that position(2) Check out the job descriptions posted(3) Make sure those CSFs are linked to your strengths mentioned earlier in

your typical resume. Tell stories to support your claims

You are the best fit

Nothing is better than a jigsaw puzzle to show that you have what it takes to get the job done. The puzzle pieces are your

(1) Attitude / Character / Determination(2) Knowledge(3) Skills(4) Experience

Your Ambition

A stair diagram shows development of increasing difficulty. The development can be in the forms of

(1) Skill development(2) Expansion of job scope / Roles and responsibility(3) Geographic locations (moving on to a regional role)

Be forewarned, don’t say something like this, “I want to be promoted to CEO of this company in less than 5 years.”
