Resume
Tips
There
are
many
ways
to
write
a
resume
and
we
have
included
a
few
on
this
site
as
examples
of
styles
that,
in
our
opinion,
work
well.
If
you
are
writing
or
amending
your
resume,
you
might
find
the
following
tips
useful.
A
resume
should
be
brief,
but
without
missing
important
information
-
don't
write
your
'life
story'.
Two
pages
is
enough
for
someone
with
two
years
experience,
seven
pages
is
enough
for
20
years
experience.
Include
all
your
contact
details
where
possible
Your
name
and
telephone
number
should
be
included
in
a
header
so
they
appear
on
every
page
-
resumes
do
get
separated
sometimes.
Write
truthful
resumes
'White
lies'
are
often
found
out
-
probably
at
the
interview.
The
first
page
should
determine
to
the
reader
whether
or
not
you
are
suitable
for
interview
-
the
rest
of
the
resume
should
provide
the
details.
The
question
the
resume
reader
wants
answered
as
soon
as
possible
is:
Is
this
person
suitable
for
my
vacancy?
The
use
of
bullet
points
is
highly
regarded,
as
is
the
use
of
a
'skills
matrix'.
Write
your
work
history
in
reverse
chronological
order
(most
recent
experience
first)
and
include
the
following:
Company,
position
title,
time
there
(including
months),
brief
description
of
duties/job
role,
technology
used.
Place
work
history
early
in
the
resume
(before
education
details)
as
it
is
the
information
people
want
to
know
about
the
most.
Only
graduate
trainees
should
devote
considerable
space
to
'subjects
taken'
in
the
education
section.
Education,
and
courses,
should
simply
be
'When',
'Where',
'What'.
Only
put
referee
contact
information
on
the
resume
if
it
is
okay
for
someone
to
call
them
at
any
time
-
some
people
think
that
if
a
name
and
telephone
number
is
there,
they
can
be
called
straight
away.
Avoid
stating
the
kind
of
role
you
are
seeking.
This
sort
of
information
can
be
open
to
interpretation
and
you
may
not
be
invited
to
interview
for
roles
you
didn't
think
of,
but
would
like
to
do.
Write
a
covering
letter
with
your
resume
highlighting
details
of
why
your
experience
is
suitable
for
the
role
you
are
applying
for.
Look
at
our
example
resumes
on
the
next
page
-
you
can
save
these
to
your
own
computer
and
use
them
as
a
template
for
your
own
resume.
