What you will be able to do

  • Rewrite any duty bullet into an achievement statement carrying a number
  • Cut the photo, date of birth and marital status that mark a CV as local
  • Structure a one-page CV that survives an applicant tracking system
  • Write a cover letter that opens with a hook rather than your name
  • Audit your own CV against the checks that must pass before you send it
  • Adapt one master CV to different roles without rewriting it each time

Who this is for

Questions

Does it work for non-Western employers too?
The outcome-first principle is universal. Where local conventions differ — photos, personal details — the course names the difference explicitly.
I have almost no experience. What do I put?
The course covers exactly this: academic projects, volunteering and leadership, written as outcomes rather than as apologies.
Is one page really the rule?
For most early-career applicants, yes. The course explains when it is not and what earns a second page.
Does it cover LinkedIn?
Briefly. Soft Skills for Vietnamese Students Going Global covers your profile and professional brand in depth.
