It takes me more than 10 years to create a minimalist design resume but I end up using readily-available resume format from recruiting firm website.
Here’s the 1st page
And the 2nd page
Those resume templates in Office Word are only suitable in U.S. In Malaysia, HR managers want to see my personal particular such as marital status, date of birth, race, religion, and even height and weight.
I always update my resume so I don’t have to overhaul the whole thing.
One tip I’d give you is this. Interviewers see your resume as a slight exaggeration of what you do and what skills you have. Most people lie on their resumes or at least embellish the truth a bit. So what I learned is that if you are more truthful and say things like I am Intermediate at something an interviewer will see that as not really being good at all on that subject/task.
You don’t have to say you are the best at something, but if there are skills that you are less proficient at say you still are good at them and have knowledge on them. The ones you are more confident about boost up even more.
I’ve been thinking of starting a new resume, without all the waitress work. I have a portfolio and a resume right now. The resume only has the waitressing and store manager jobs I had. It’s not appropriate for the kind of work I will be doing in the future.
Thanks for the tips. 
Time will tell whether I lie or exaggerate.
I have no comment for resume writing. Having portfolio is an advantage, though.
Surprised to know you have waitressing and store manager jobs before.
Well, I had to pay the bills, and graphic design and movie directing just doens’t pay bills in Portugal 
I updated my resume during school to reflect my new career path. Then last week I spent quite a few hours on it again now that I’ve graduated, am licensed and have some certificates. I ended up cutting out all the short term retail jobs I had as a young adult because I wanted to keep it on 1 page.
It will be a fresh graduates resume, without experience, but you may have section for curricular activities.
Please keep the certificate as I believe it will be difficult to request for replacement copy many years later.
Yes, I have heard advice to keep it one page, but maximum 2, not more than 3 pages.
I have a black hole of about 12 years to fill lol I’m leaving my cv to the experts
What kind of restaurant do you work at? I just think octopus tapas, from the travel shows.i used to hate being a waitress but now it suits where I am at in life.
I love moving around all dsy. Get my 10,000 steps. Do you have regular customers? I like being here the last 3 months. Getting to know some people.
Haven’t worked for two/three years now, right now I’m going to work for my mom, managing one apartment she has on airbnb.
I worked in fancy places mostly, michelin stars restaurants and one gourmet pizza place. I had regulars, they used to tip really well, and made friends along the way. I liked it, but it’s a very tough and stressful job, I don’t think I’ll do it again.

It is helpful but I need to remove the “make travel arrangement” and “take minutes”, and add despatch and accounting duties.
What do you say: Open cheque(check), Issue cheque(check), or prepare cheque(check) --which one is correct?
I helped doing the payroll and invoicing too. Using banknote counter and cheque writer.
i did accounting too, so i would say prepare checque, i dont know if you made payments like i did so if you did then issue cheque as well
