Some good tips

Here you will find the DO’s and DONT’s to successfully build your resume and increase your chances to

get a job interview.

DO’s:

Bulleted items - Ideally make your resume listing items. The more reader-friendly the better.

One page fits all - Fit your resume in one single page (if needed maximum 2 pages).

Customise – Tailor your application for each job opportunity.

Grammar mistakes - Use the spell check feature to look for any grammar mistakes and

remember to set to “English – Australia”.

Appearance is everything - Make a resume design that doesn’t look like everyone else’s.

Presenting information in neat and organised layout makes the difference.

DON’Ts:

Personal info - Never inform your passport details, nationality, visa, date of birth, gender, religion,

hobbies or marital status.

Unrelated info - Do not inform courses unrelated to the job (eg. Advanced Computer skills in

Cleaner resume)

Too much info – Do not list too many duties you have performed in previous experiences. Only

list those relevant for the role you are applying for.

Redundancy - Don’t list repeated duties for different work experiences.

Picture - Avoid attaching your picture unless required by the job ad.
