Philippines CV and resume guidance

How do I put my OJT on my resume as a fresh graduate?

List OJT (on-the-job training) like a job, with the company, department, dates and three or four bullets on what you did. For many Filipino fresh graduates it is the main work experience, so give it detail.

Example:
"On-the-Job Trainee, Finance Department, a property developer in Makati, Feb to May 2025 (300 hours)

  • Encoded and reconciled supplier invoices in SAP.
  • Prepared weekly petty cash reports.
  • Assisted in filing documents for the year-end audit."

Tips:

  • Focus on tasks and tools, not just "assisted".
  • Add the number of required hours if it shows commitment.
  • Put it under "Internship / OJT" or in Work Experience if you have no other jobs.

If your OJT was mostly filing or photocopying, describe it honestly but look for the useful parts: systems you learned, people you supported, deadlines you helped meet. If your OJT supervisor gave you good feedback or a certificate of completion, keep it ready, and consider asking them to be a reference.
