Hi,

Thanks Rossie for sharing your resume.

[jlrp]

addition information:


name
address
Telephone:
email

PROFILE:
This should be a short summary of your experience, skills and abilities, and be contained in four to six lines of text. Only list the attributes that will be of interest to an employer; do not include irrelevancies

Achievements
A lot of students/graduates won't have an achievements section, because you won't have anything to write here. If you can think of some achievements please list 3 to 6 achievements which you feel will be in line with your next position. Do not list achievements which are not in line with what you want to do next. Bullet point your achievements to make them stand out. Start with the strongest point in your favour and then work backwards from there

Education/Qualifications
Only list the most important qualifications

EXPERIENCE:
When you are describing your experience for each position you should start with the strongest point in your favour and then work backwards. If you have a lot of points to put under one specific job you may want to break this description into two or more sections. You could break up this section into responsibilities and achievements or you could break it up into specific functions, e.g. management,
Make sure you stress your responsibilities and achievements under each job which will be useful in your next job, but do not repeat information in your CV as this will just bore the reader.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Include any additional information, such as whether you have a driving licence - if you have a clean driving licence, say so. Date of birth, marital status and nationality can usually be left off your CV.

INTERESTS:
   Keep this part fairly short, but make sure you list any current positions of responsibility

REFERENCES:
   You should include two referees, one of which should be an academic reference, e.g. your personal tutor, while the second reference could be from an employer you have worked for.
