If you don't know anything about recruitment then don't talk nonsense please. You yourself admit you no HR experience & only do a bit recruitment in small company here & there, you best learn to be humble before trying to be "helpful".
Yes, I am so sorry... I will strive to learn from you humbly...

Correct me if I am wrong. But this is a forum... It's a place for discussions. I didn't address your points cos I felt they were basically pointless... If you have to insist that I address your points...

I believe this point has already been addressed by another forum user.

You think I thought... Look who's speculating? Again, let me repeat myself. This is a forum. I posted in hope that some people will find it helpful. If you don't you may ignore it.

We have all seen bad CVs from 1 page to 30 pages, so what exactly is the lesson to be derived from your example? That we must write coherently? Again, I don't think this is what TS and others are asking.
And you think again... As you said, TS and others had some (in your own words) queries on broad principles in how to write a good CV. Giving a list of pitfalls to avoid would definitely help. Now if you would stop shooting yourself in your own foot.

Are you new to forums? There are trolls in almost every forum that I visited. Singaporeans are just too free I think.

Telling people to shut up and ignore just because they criticize a poster is not a healthy way for discussion. While I agree with Husky's opinion on the CV matter, his replies that "I am trying to be helpful, so nobody should criticize me. If they dun like can shut up & ignore me" is an immature attitude.

We are here to trade and debate ideas, not to come here to listen to some guru preach and audience all nod head & clap in agreement - here not Singapore parliament hor.

Lets say if you have experience.

Do you put the job responsibilities first and then follow by your work accomplishment in your cv.

Or vice versa. work accomplishment and then job responsibilitiy.

Does it make any difference

If switching industry I suppose it's helpful to put responsibilities first to lay down the groundwork to help understanding the accomplishments?

-------------------

Reviving this thread just to ask whether it is any point listing a role which I've held only a week but got laid off due to redundancy. Reasons- address unemployment gap, showed that I successfully switched industry, expand skill set...
