When you apply for a job, your prospective employer will want to see your resume. Your resume is a marketing tool that outlines your skills and experience relevant to the job. It can also be called your Curriculum Vitae (CV).
Your resume should be dynamic which means you should update it regularly, whenever you finish a job or complete a training course. It should also be tailored for each job you apply for. It might be a good idea to create a master resume and then use it to create tailored versions for each job application. |
What to include in your resume
Your resume should include your contact details, education, employment history, and the contact details for your referees. You can also include a statement of your career objective, relevant computer skills, relevant professional affiliations and other relevant skills (for example, languages). Some people like to include information about their hobbies and interests so that the employer can get to know more about their personality and interests outside of work. |
