How to build your resume

Here is another free resume template to meet your job hunting needs. This template uses three columns to help sort your experience and skills into an easy to read document. This will help to provide you with a one page resume, only if the employer specifies that they require a one page resume. The key to a successful resume is relevance, providing relevant, up-to-date and important information on skills is how you get your point across to employers. It is all about what you can offer the employer, not what they can offer you (although this is important to consider when applying for jobs).

Cater you resume to the job. If it is a graduate job, where there are specific education requirements put education first, if the job requires an experienced marketer put experience first. Your transferable skills are the skills that are relevant to most (if not all) of the jobs you apply for, e.g. written communication, public speaking, fast learning, active listener. Your technological skills are the IT skills that you gain from working in various jobs, e.g. CMS, Adobe Illustrator, Microsoft word, Sprout social etc.

Any projects or other volunteer work does add value to your resume through supporting skills and professional development. Achievements let the employer see that you are dedicated to what you do, you have interests and that you are open to new challenges.

Assessment grid

In a previous post I mentioned setting up an assessment grid to keep track of your assignments, their due dates, prioritising and organising your semester, as well as seeing how far you have come and how far you have to go. I have created an assessment grid, which is adaptable to your semester and subject offering. It is available for free download for you to get started with the new semester organised. Simply click download below the image or embed if you would like to put it on your blog.
