Kuala Lumpur: The Resume Clinic proved to be one of the main attractions for graduates and members of the public attending the 2025 National Career Carnival organised by the Ministry of Higher Education (MoHE). The two-day career carnival, which began today, brings together over 100 leading local companies from various key sectors. Among them are investED, Bank Negara Malaysia, Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd, Paynet, Infineon Technologies, IJM Corporation Bhd, SD Guthrie Bhd and Tenaga Nasional Bhd.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Ahmad Danial Ihsan Nordin, 26, a private sector employee in accounting, said the Resume Clinic was very helpful in helping him prepare a complete and high-quality resume. “We don’t need resumes with overly bombastic wording, just something concise and straight to the point,” he said when met by Bernama at the carnival held at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC) today. Ahmad Danial said his participation in the Resume Clinic was a valuable and informative experience. He also expressed hope that the programme would be continued to help more individuals learn how to craft a proper resume.

Similarly, Noor Fazhilah Haron, 23, a recent graduate from Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) Machang campus, said the programme helped guide young people in understanding their potential and career direction. “I came to the career carnival to find a job as I have just completed my studies. My main focus is in the field of muamalat (Islamic commercial transactions). We just need to bring our resume and the mentors will review and guide us on how to improve it,” she said.

Meanwhile, Jasper Tan, a Human Resources manager at a digital payment company, said the Resume Clinic is proving to be an effective initiative to assist job seekers, especially fresh graduates in refining their application documents and increasing their chances of being shortlisted for interviews. Tan, who has eight years of recruitment experience, said a well-crafted resume or curriculum vitae (CV) plays a crucial role as it is the first step in the job application process. “Resume Clinic is important. Let’s say a person has tried but still can’t get a job. It is good for them to come to Resume Clinic and get advice from recruiters or professionals on how to enhance and beautify their CV,” he said.
