Writing a resume

A Resume is a typed record of your personal details (name, address etc), Employment History (name of businesses you have worked for and jobs you have done) Education (skills you have gained from previous jobs, courses, community work and hobbies).

When you are listing jobs start with the most recent one. For positions you held

Do not go back more than 15-10 years ago you do not need to give detail unless it is relevant to the position you are applying for, but you should give the employers name, dates and Job Title.

A copy of your Resume is sent with the Application Letter to the employer. (Keep the original copy of the Resume in case your copy is lost).
