Resume

FORMAT

A typical way to structure your resume is as follows:

• Header: Name Contact Details Personal Portfolio Github

• Education • Achievements • Professional Experience • Leadership and Volunteering • References

GENERAL TIPS

1. Keep your resume to one page, or two pages maximum as recruiters may not read beyond that. This also allows you to be more particular with the information you choose to include.

2. Sparingly use bold, italics and colour. Keep your resume clear and easy to read. Use a professional font, such as Arial, Times New Roman or Calibri.

RESUME

CONTENT

1. Relevance

2. Achievemements

3. Proofreading

Research the responsibilities and expectations of the role you are applying for, and be selective with the work/volunteer experience you include in your resume. Ensure that it is relevant to the role.

Ensure you quantify your achievements when writing descriptions of your professional and personal experiences. Utilise strong verbs at the beginning of your bullet points.

Have a friend review your CV and proofread it. Oftentimes, an outsider’s perspective is helpful in pointing out any parts that seem unclear or need editing.
