A resume is a
summary of what you have achieved and who you are. This will serve
two useful purposes. First, it will tell others who you are. Second,
it will constantly remind you of your skills and abilities. We can
so easily forget what we have done and lose sight of our
achievements, selling ourselves short.
Resumes need to be
short and to the point. It needs to outline the whole you –
someone who has a life as well as having the appropriate experiences
and qualifications. Your entries in your Skills Audit will provide a
start in putting together your resume.
You can change your
resume to suit each job you apply for. If you can, type up your
resume on a word processor or personel computer, you will then be
able to update it when you gain new skills, undertake new work or
gain relevant experiences such as coaching sports teams or voluntary
community work.
