1.) How to write a resume
Resume is the most important tool when applying for a job. It doesn't matter how
qualified you are, or how much experience you have - if your resume is poorly
presented or badly written, you're going to have trouble getting the job you want - or
even an interview. The resume is a marketing tool. It needs to demonstrate: That you
are employable, how you meet the job and the organisation's requirements, you have
the right qualifications and education, you have the right experience and skills, and you
have the right level of professionalism for the job
There is no set length for a resume. A resume varies in length depending on your
experience and education. If you haven't worked much before, one or two pages is best,
but three pages is okay if you've got a lot of study and work behind you. Make sure you
don't pad out your resume. If your resume is only one page, as long as it's well-
presented it might get better results than a two-page resume full of unnecessary
information.
The resume include this:
Contact details
Opening statement
List of key skills
List of technical/software skills
Personal attributes/career overview
Educational qualifications
Employment history/volunteering/work placements
References/referees
What NOT to put on your resume:
Knowing exactly what is expected of you before, during and after an interview will
put you in the best position to prove youre the best candidate for any job.
