SINGAPORE - Here's what a Workforce Singapore career coach says:

A resume is a space for you to communicate your story and it is the employer's first impression of you. Whether you are applying for a job with or without experience, it is crucial to ensure that your resume provides what the prospective employer is looking for.

The first thing to do when you decide to apply to an industry in which you have no work experience or prior training is research the industry and the different job roles, their scopes and the skills that are required for each role.


You should also take stock of the transferable and marketable skill sets you have that will enable you to stand out from other job seekers.

This will be especially helpful when you start crafting your resumes and customising them to the role and company that you are applying to.

As a prospective newcomer to the industry, you should portray yourself as being agile and willing to learn new skills and adapt to new working environments.
