RESUME TIPS

A resume is a short and concise marketing document that sells your skills, qualifications and experience. Remember to write down any questions that you may have and ask one of our friendly staff next time you visit EIV. Here are our Resume Tips;

 

1. Keep it short

Your resume should be no more than 2-3 pages in length (One page will suit most jobs). Imagine your potential employers fishing through a pile of resumes- you want to be succinct and to the point.

2. Relevance is King

Ensure that your resume contains job relevant information. They don't need to know every single thing you have done, only things that will help display how right you are for the job.

3. Looking good

Ensure that your resume contains correct spelling and is easy to read on clean white paper. Look good before you even turn up at an interview!

4. It's all in the details

Have correct personal details and ensure that your referees are current, reliable and contactable. Nothing worse than an out of date resume.

5. Keep your referees informed

Let your referees know when you apply for a position. This is the best way to get a well considered reference.
