Outline of a Resume
The perfect resume should contain enough information to describe
your attributes, to entice the reader to contact you, but should
not be more than 2 pages for inital contact (if you are faxing
or emailing). The basic outline for a perfect resume should contain
the following information:
Your Name
Your contact details (VERY important)
Your qualifications (or high school acheivments if you are new
to the job market)
Your education history (not too much detail if you have been out
of school for more than 5 years)
Your past work history (listed chronologically from most previous
to your first job)
Your duties in each of these jobs
Contact details of any refernces you may have.
In the initial contact, dont include your letters of reference
withyour resume - keep those for the interview.
Make sure you follow up the submission of your resume with a letter,
and include your resume with a covering letter.
