Resume Tips

Your resume is an important career tool. We recommend that you adopt the following common-sense guidelines when preparing your resume:

• does the document read clearly? Avoid long-winded sentences.
• use correct grammar and spelling.
• ensure that education and employment history dates are accurate.
• does your resume readily outline experience appropriate to the position you are applying for?
• ensure that referees are informed and available for verification.
• use your covering letter to address the specific requirements of the role.
