One page is too short, five is too long. Two to four pages should suffice. |
| • |
Your front page should summarise: |
| |
| - |
contact details |
| - |
qualifications and early education |
| - |
language fluency |
| - |
systems fluency |
| - |
current (last job) … always list employment in reverse order |
|
| • |
Peculiar/company specific job titles should be replaced with a generic description of the role. |
| • |
Brief description of what you are/were responsible for, with some dimensions including turnover, number of people, lengths of projects, etc. |
| • |
Recommend you promote how well you performed in the role with examples of achievements in bullet point format … not just a record of your responsibilities. |
| • |
Briefly describe your employer, particularly if small, unknown company. |
| • |
The last three to five years are relevant, prior to this should be one line entries of employer and position. |
| • |
Personal summaries are generally not well received as they are not necessarily objective. |
