When applying for part time jobs in Singapore, even though the roles may be less demanding in terms of experience, your resume still matters. A good resume helps you stand out.

First, include your name, contact information, educational background. If you are a student, include your school, level (secondary/poly/uni), and any relevant achievements or coursework. This shows employers where you are at in your studies and how much you can commit.

Then work experience: even small jobs count. Retail, volunteering, helping in family business, any internships—list what you did, your responsibilities, hours. Emphasize reliability (punctuality, attendance) and any customer interaction. Employers often look for good attitude.

Skills section: language skills (English, maybe Mandarin, Malay, Tamil), computer skills (Word, Excel, basic software), communication, teamwork, flexibility. If you have special skills (graphic design, social media, cashier software, bilingual), highlight them.

Availability: Be very clear about when you can work—weekends? evenings? holiday periods? This helps employers know if you fit their scheduling needs. Indicate whether you prefer fixed or flexible hours.

Include extracurriculars or volunteer work: leadership roles, clubs, part of student council, event organising. These show initiative, responsibility, teamwork.

Tailor the resume for each job: If applying to retail jobs, emphasize customer service and adaptability. If applying to delivery or logistics, highlight punctuality and stamina. If applying to digital or remote part time roles, emphasize tech skills.

Finally, keep the resume clean and concise. One page is okay for a student; use bullet points; check for spelling/grammar. First impressions matter, even for part time jobs.
