What is a Resume? In it's simplest form, it is the means of showing a prospective employer, who you are, why you are the best person for the position and what your capabilities are.

Before starting, do some preparatory work by writing down the type of skills that you have, the type of jobs (if any) that you have had. Do not bother with short term positions, ones less than two (2) months, but include what you wish to do and how you will achieve it.

The following is a description of how to create a simple resume. The information is a guide only and can be adapted so that you can create your own quality document.

The document, if possible, should be laser printed for maximum impact and a graphic could be added for a distinctive style. 

Your Name and Address - Can be centred or to one side.

A line to separate the name from the document.

Your Objective(s) - These should match the position applied for.

Your Skills - The skills you take to a employer.

List of employers (showing how you obtained your skills) - List the position held plus the skills obtained.

Tertiary Education - List any TAFE courses or professional degrees etc.

Secondary Education - List schools attended and levels achieved.

Development Courses - In house training courses.

Addition Personal Details - Health, driving licence etc.

Referee's - At least two people's name, addresses and telephone numbers.
