When writing a resume, think about its purpose – are trying to move up in your career, are you changing industries or are you looking for your first job.
Most people have a few different resumes, depending on the type of position they are applying for and the level of that position. It is also not uncommon to find people changing their resume to make it more closely aligned to the advertisement or job description.
Be positive and think outside of your industry – the person reading your resume may not understand your role so give them as much information as possible by using examples and descriptions. If you are a Personal Assistant say things like ‘I helped bring order to an otherwise hectic day” or if you are a team leader say “I controlled and advised a team of 5 people on daily basis, creating a more productive workplace”.
List your personal details including: Full name, contact details, address, email address and phone number that works and is checked regularly.
Do not include your age, race, health or nationality (that is your business – not the employer’s or agencies)
A career objective statement is a good idea to let potentials employers know your ambitions and the type of work you wish to do. Be realistic and tailor this to the type or role and the size of the employer you are applying to.
Education and Training. List the name of the institution, place/country, resulting qualification, and the date it was obtained. If your institution is not well know (such as it was done interstate) it is ok to put their registered training organisation number as well, this make it known that they have to meet government standards and makes your qualification as valuable as someone who did theirs at a well known establishment.
It is a good idea to list any professional memberships such as the Human Resources Institute (or other relevant group) or organisations that you volunteer at such as the local sports club.
Employment History – List your most recent employment first and in the following order: tile, name of organisation, and location. Then describe your responsibilities, stick mainly to your specific skills and achievements. Use examples, such as “I improved sales by 5% over 12 months. This makes your resume more credible. Do not list your entire work history – just the last 10 or 15 years.
For some positions you may have to be accredited to a certain regulatory body or you may have had an article published in a magazine. It is a good idea to list those on your resume after the employment history.
Be sure to list at least 2 references providing their name, position, company name and include a fixed telephone number for the person. Mobile numbers are becoming less accepted as their have been issues with credibility. If you prefer not to list your references on your resume that is acceptable – just write “available upon request”. Where you are applying for multiple positions it will help limit the amount of times your referee is contacted. Have a typed sheet with your name and the references details printed out for when you are asked for them.
Finally, prepare copies of your qualifications (or note their availability at an interview), this will help prove those qualifications to be genuine. Do not lie of exaggerate on your resume – chances are you will be found out.
