Building a better resume.

.01

Keep it to key points only

Include your name and contact details (address, phone and email), and a brief summary of your skills, then list professional qualifications, work history and references.

.02

Use a clear and simple layout

Employers are often busy people, so make it easy for them to read by selecting simple fonts and styles.

.03

Tailor it every time

Review and update your resume for each role you apply for and ensure your experience is relevant.

.04

Be the complete package

Update your LinkedIn profile to ensure it reflects the requirements of the role and check your social media profiles so that if clients Google you (they will) they like what they see.

.05

Professional

Ensure your resume is well-written, concise, spell-checked and submitted according to the guidelines provided.
