How to write a good resume in Australia

5/7/2015

0 Comments

 
Hello everyone!

Today I would like to talk about how to write a good resume. A good resume can be the difference between an interview and being ignored. I always advice to my clients to start preparing resume before arrival to Australia. By preparing your resume from home, you will save yourself from stress and you will be ready to apply for a job as soon as you arrive to Australia. 
Our Study Online Australia team will provide to all of our clients free assistance with writing resumes. Please see below a simple overview how to ensure your resume will promote you well. 
What to do
  • Sell yourself, be sure to highlight what makes you a great candidate and feel free to use bullet points and a bold font to highlight key information
  • Use simple fonts for easy reading (10 point minimum and well spaced lines)
  • 2 pages maximum
  • Ensure that  your information is easy to read (e.g. place your recent positions first)
  • Ask a friend to check your CV
  • Make sure that your spelling is correct
What to include
  • Include your level of English or other language skills
  • Include customized cover letter if you apply online
  • Write more about recent positions with important achievements
  • Include only information, courses and qualifications related to the applied job position
Invitation for an interview
  • Use language to your advantage - these can include ‘teamwork’, ‘flexibility’, ‘detail-oriented’ and ‘self-motivated’
  • Have ready contact details of your referees to provide at interview
  • Don’t forget - First impressions do count
  • Hand over your resume directly to a Manager where it's possible
Don't
  • Provide referees details only write : “reference available upon request”
  • Write about marital status, religion, passport details, nationality
  • Use unprofessional email addresses (e.g. [email protected]), not a good look
Hope this simple guide will help you to find a job which you are looking for. Good luck:-)

Should you have any inquiries, please do not hesitate to contact me

Pavla
