When you start looking for work in Australia, you need to have a good resume. A resume is a document that has some information about you. It has your name, address, telephone number and email address. It also has some information about your education and the types of jobs you have had. The resume should include the names and contact details of at least two people who know you and your work.
You can type your own resume using a computer. There are many web sites on the internet to help you get started. There are also some videos on the net to give you good tips on how to type a good resume. You can ask your friends for help because if you don’t have a good resume, there will be little chance a company will call you to come for an interview.
If you don’t know how to type a resume, you can try to find samples of resumes in your career on the net and edit one for yourself. Of course you will need to have some computer skills to do so. If you don’t have good computer skills, you can ask a resume professional to make one for you. Resume professionals charge money for their work. This can cost you about one hundred dollars. Some of them charge a few hundred dollars depending on the time they spend preparing it.
In many situations, you will not be able to use one resume to apply for different jobs. Make sure you read the ad for the job very well before you start typing your resume. If a company wants someone who can handle cash, you can mention in your resume that you can do so. If a shop wants someone who can deal with customers, you can mention in your resume that you have good people skills.
Your resume is the first thing an employer sees. They will have a picture of you before seeing you in person when they read your resume. Make sure you say all the good things about yourself and ask other people to have a good look on it before you send it. They can check your resume for spelling mistakes. If you have spelling mistakes in your resume, this can show that you don’t pay attention to the things you do.
You will need to ask the people you will use as references for permission before you use their names in your resume. Make sure they know that you are applying for work so they can be ready to answer questions about you and your work. You can’t use your family members as references in your resume. Your references have to know about your work.
Your resume can be one page or a few pages long. If you have worked in different positions or if you have many things to mention, your resume can be long. The employer can use your resume to ask you questions during the job interview.
