6 C/ T7 O2 W& L! u3 PYour resume (also known as a curriculum vitae or CV) is a marketing tool which should be used to promote yourself, your skills, achievements and suitability for a job. It should project a professional image and be presented in an easy-to-follow format that is concise and accurate. Above all, it should hold the employer's interest. Here are a few tips to help you stand out. , Z) I/ W: M* J9 u* u: }! @! `' d% v
Keep it professional
1 Z, j4 [2 E/ I, g2 \If you’re going for a position as a business professional, curly fonts and coloured paper are a no-no. Always consider your audience when you’re producing a document. Your resume should be well-spaced and as concise as possible, using bullet points where appropriate. Remember that your potential employer will receive tens, if not hundreds, of resumes. You need to make sure yours is one that’s easy to read, where the key points are easily identifiable early on. . L% t& d4 F4 f: E& o
Information to include
. i# H0 j, b6 R+ h3 w7 Z4 |Your resume should include basic information such as your name, contact details, academic history, employment history (no more than 15 years worth) and other qualifications as well as interests or hobbies relevant to the job. In Australia you are not required to include your date of birth, marital status or your address for most positions. For international resumes, you need to do some research. Talk to a recruitment consultant and find out what the standard is for the country you’re applying in. Different cultures will have different expectations. , E* z% L: W2 I( f( ?! A# [6 i: S
It is important that your resume is specifically tailored to the job you’re applying for by addressing the key selection criteria. Resumes generally list your work experience and achievements in chronological order detailing employment history, including past employers, positions held, primary responsibilities and the length of each role. This is the chance to sell your personal and professional strengths by highlighting projects or tasks where the outcomes were successful. , _4 V" V" D* y1 C0 g8 @
Proofread, proofread and proofread
7 w- X, j3 e& D! E) OGet your resume proofread by someone other than yourself – no matter how many times you have read over it. Nothing says unprofessional like a glaring error. Remember, a basic spell check will not pick up all typos, so have a really good read before sending your resume off to a potential employer. " T' r' D3 l' m4 `
Submit a cover letter

At this stage you can also ask about the interview process and when you should expect to hear about an interview. Where possible, try to request a brief conversation with the person who will be the potential interviewer.

If you're applying for your first full-time job, think about what personal and professional skills and experience differentiate you from the other applicants. Employers will be looking for academic achievement, but they may also be looking for evidence of workplace skills (perhaps from part-time employment or work experience), good communication skills, and the ability to balance a range of activities and still achieve positive outcomes. 1 G, ~" V% ?; S

Though you’re under no obligation to do so, you may find that being open answers any nagging questions an employer may have. Remember that a potential employer is restricted in what they can ask you in an interview, so volunteering information can resolve any potential concerns in this area.
