What to include in your Resume
Your resume needs to include details that will assist the panel to make an assessment of your suitability for a role. The content needs to be neatly organised and include information relevant to the role you are applying for.
You should include the following:
Details of your education, qualifications and any courses or areas of focus that might be relevant to the job
Any previous work experience, paid and volunteer that you have undertaken in reverse chronological order (that is, put your most recent experience first)
Details of any previous employment. For each job you need to include your role title, the name and location of your employer, the dates of employment and a brief description of your role and responsibilities
Any special skills, computer skills, or achievements you have or any relevant memberships
Your referees
Tips
- You dont need to include personal details such as age, marital status, address, or number of dependents in your resume
- Use this template as a guide to creating your resume
- Let your nominated referee know that you have applied for a job and would like to ask them to be a referee for you. It is best to do this when you know you are submitting a job application so they are ready for a call.
