SIX TIPS IN PREPARING YOUR RESUME
  1. Personal Contact Details  
    Make it easy for an employer/recruiter to get hold of you during the day or evening. So include all phone numbers, a postal address and e-mail contact.
  2. Professional Development – Extra training and ability.
    Beginning with the most recent, outline courses, certificates and degrees/papers you have attained. You may need to tailor these to the position you are applying for. If you have been in the workforce for 10 years or more, school qualifications probably aren't that relevant. Concentrate more on recent development.
  3. Employment Summary - A brief history.
    List organisations you have worked for, your position and the period employed. This is an employment summary at a glance.
  4. Summary of Skills - Your skills to date.
    Try to order the skills to suit the position you are applying for. Or, if your application is general, place the highest level skills first. If a job requires technology experience outline it here with your level of attainment and a listing of the packages.
  5. Employment Experience - Show your skills and achievements.
    Starting at the most recent, list your previous employers, dates employed, your role(s), and your key responsibilities (bullet form). Also list key projects and achievements. For most recent employers include an explanation of the organisation's business or what they do.
  6. Referees - Who to Pick?
    Provide a minimum of 2-3 referees (preferably managers who you have reported to) who can be contacted by phone. At least one previous employer should be included. If you have been out of the workforce for some time think about volunteer, school or club work that you have performed and could obtain a referee from.

    Seek permission before you use someone as a referee and brief them on the type of role you are applying for. Make sure you ask people who you can be confident will say positive things about your abilities, work habits and skills. If possible ask people who are good speakers and can add credibility.

    If you are involved in sales work it can be of benefit to ask a client to act as a referee. This will give an employer an indication of your customer skills.
