CV and Resume Writing

Research has shown that interviewers can spend as little as 20 seconds reviewing your resume!  So you need to get it right the first time!

A resume is not designed to tell your life story or detail everything you have ever done in your career.  Its specific purpose is to interest the reader enough to invite you in for a meeting or an interview.  It should be a 2 – 4 page document that covers:-  

  • Achievements in education & training.      
  • Your achievements in each role.
  • Positions held, when and where.          
  • Your knowledge and skills.
  • Responsibilities you held in those roles.
  • What you offer.
  • Personal contact details

Remember a good resume is about you and your achievements. Be honest, but be prepared to sell yourself.
