The process of teaching résumé writing is highly tedious and time consuming for instructors; instructors dedicate a lot of time to consult students individually with their résumé. Hence, an application which is named My Résumé App. was designed to accommodate the needs of the modern era of education while ensuring learning outcomes are achieved. Although there are numerous résumé templates online, almost all of them are not appropriate in the context of teaching and learning résumé writing.

This study also highlights learners’ recommendations regarding the design and features of the application. In accordance to Malaysia Education Blueprint 2015-2025, Shift 9 on Globalized Online Learning, this application could supply assistance in the teaching and learning of résumé writing lesson.
