Resumes
and Selection Criteria |
 |
| Resumes |
| One of the most important components of job search is your resume. Your resume is a summary of you, your skills, experience and qualifications. It gives the reader an overview of your abilities and your value as a potential employee. |
| It is important to ensure that your resume is up to date and that it concisely reflects your skills, experience and qualifications. A resume should generally be about two pages long (definitely no more than four unless specifically requested). Remember, it is merely a brief overview – you simply want to convince the reader that you have the skills, qualifications and experience required for the role for which you are applying. |

| Cover letters |
| When applying for a position it is necessary to prepare a cover letter which states to the employer the purposes for which your resume is being supplied to them. A cover letter will accompany your resume both when you are applying for a particular position (advertised or unadvertised) or when you are forwarding your unsolicited resume during self marketing activities. |
| Selection criteria |
