Resumes top tips

• Job application writing is a skill most seem to
  have difficulty with. It is very hard to sell
  yourself effectively and therefore most people
  would not think they were a great job application
  writer.
• Cover page - I like to be different and call my
  Resume an Experience and Skills Summary just
  to be different and stand out. If the recruitment
  agency or business gets 1000 Resumes they are
  sure to only get one Skills and Experience
  summary and therefore this will help you have
  your application remembered. Your Resume will
  be instantly distinct.
• Career Objective- While this really is a bit
  wishy washy I do still put a statement about my
  career objective or the career objective of my
  client and show how this aligns with the job you
  are applying for.

• Qualifications/Professional Memberships- I
  next list any formal qualifications ietertiary
  studies or professional memberships.
• Career Achievements- This is where I try and
  include 3 to 5 significant career achievements to
  really demonstrate your skills and experience and
  what you have accomplished over your career. You
  dont state here that you have delivered quality
  service to clients or that you are a great team
  member.
• Career History- This is where you detail the
  jobs you have undertaken over your career and who
  you worked for, from when to when, what was the
  position title and what were the key roles and
  responsibilities of that role. You need to make
  the roles sound really important not just
  mundane run of the mill duties. Only generally go
  back to the past 10 years roles older than 10
  years ago are now out of date and to me not
  really relevant..

• Primary Duties and Responsibilities-
• Provision of specialist carpentry and labouring
  services to residents of Brisbane and South East
  Qld.
• Coordinate materials, equipment and other
  resources require to complete jobs for clients in
  line with client needs and budget.
•  Oversee project progress and completion.
•  Undertake estimating activities in order to
  price jobs and provide competitive quotes to
  clients.
•  Liaise with client to identify job requirements
  and expectations.
•  Liaise and consult with other stakeholders
  including Government/Council agencies, suppliers
  etc with respect to job progress
•  Undertake innovative marketing activities to
  promote business services.
• Undertake financial management activities
  including preparing invoices and meeting ATO
  requirements with respect to BAS and taxation
  issues.

5

• Training/Certificates- List here any training
  you have undertaken in-house or any certificates
  you hold.
• Personal information- Yes here is where your
  personal information is address/contact details
  are put. You do NOT identify your age, marital
  status, whether you are a smoker etc. Most people
  put their personal details up the front of their
  Resume on the first page.
• Referees- List two or three referees here their
  contact details and position titles. These
  referees must say the sky is green if you say
  that in an interview so they really have to be
  people who will support you and your claims
  1000.
