Resumes Writing<\/p>\n

A resume – sometimes called a curriculum vitae or CV – is a summary of your education, training, work experience and skills. A good resume demonstrates how your skills and abilities match up with the requirements of a job.<\/p>\n

How Long Should a Resume Be?<\/b><\/p>\n

A resume isn’t an exhaustive list. If it’s too long it probably won’t get read. The best resumes are usually no longer than one or two pages.<\/p>\n

If you’ve just left high school – whether you finished or not – a one-page resume is perfectly reasonable. If you’re at uni, or you’ve finished uni, you’ve probably got enough experience to fill two pages.<\/p>\n

If you need to go over two pages that’s okay, but make sure everything you include is necessary to explain how good a fit you are for the job.<\/p>\n

The worst thing to do is to pad out your resume. There’s nothing wrong with a one-page resume, as long as it has all of the relevant information on it. More is not necessarily better.<\/p>\n

Do I Need to Change My Resume Every Time?<\/b><\/p>\n

You need to change your resume for every job application so that it lists the skills and experiences that are most relevant to the job you’re applying for. Not every job will have the same set of requirements, but every resume you send out needs to be 100% relevant to the requirements of that job.<\/p>\n

The resume’s purpose is to convince the hiring personnel that you are eligible for interviewing. A customized CV increases the chances more than a generic one. Hence, one should spend extra time to draft the resume to fit the job profile.<\/p>\n

How to Tailor Your Resume<\/b><\/p>\n

One should find out what the job criteria is from a job listing where the key requirements or skills are posted. There may also be a document that details the skills and experience required for the job. This is called the position description. If you found out about the job from your networks, ask the person who told you about it what skills and experience the employer is looking for.<\/p>\n

What You Should Definitely Include on Your Resume<\/b><\/p>\n

Personal Details: <\/b>Put your full name and contact details on your resume, including your address, telephone number(s) and email address. Make sure you use a professional-sounding email address.<\/p>\n

Education and Training: <\/b>This is a summary of your education and training history, starting with your most recent studies. Make sure that you include all training that’s relevant to the job you’re applying for, including any on-the-job training you’ve done.<\/p>\n

Employment History: <\/b>Generally speaking it’s best to start with your most recent job and work backwards, listing:<\/p>\n
