Career Advice from the Experts

2 March 2022

Skye London, ACS People & Culture Business Partner, had some helpful advice centered around resumes:

• Customise your resume for every single job. You need to make it easy for the recruiter to see that your skills, experience, qualifications and knowledge are exactly what they are looking for.
  
  
• Have your best experience, skills and qualifications on the first page of your resume.
  
  
• Be clear, concise and to the point. Your resume only needs to contain what is relevant to the job you are applying for.
  
  
• Make sure your job application is perfect. Your resume and cover letter are going to be the first impression of you and your ability to the job that you are applying for.
  
  
• Do exactly what the application process states. If you don't follow the process your application might not be considered.
