This is an opportunity to demonstrate that you have the required skills, knowledge, abilities, and qualifications for the position.  \nIt is essential to tailor each resume for each position.  \nMARKET YOURSELF  \nYour resume is a marketing tool. This is an opportunity to highlight your unique selling points to an employer.  \nTailoring your resume for every job will emphasise your strengths as they relate to each job and match your skills and abilities accordingly. Research the organisation and the position to determine what the employer is looking for.  \nHEADINGS  \nThere are no set headings for a resume, although there are common headings used. Decide which headings best promote you and order them dependent on your background, experience, and the position requirements. Always list dates and experiences in chronological order – the most recent first!  \nPersonal Details  \n• Name, address, telephone, email  \n• LinkedIn URL (ensure your LinkedIn is up to date and hyperlinked)  \nEducation  \nCurrent and previous tertiary qualifications with relevant achievements. Only list high school if you are a recent school leaver.  \nKey Skills  \nHighlighting 3-4 key skills using sub-headings allows the reader to identify the skills you have and if they are relevant. Ensure you state how you demonstrate each skill in 1-2 lines.  \nEmployment History  \nState your responsibilities; use dot points to state what your tasks were, ensuring they are relevant and tailored to the position.  \nProfessional or Industry Experience  \nThis section is relevant for students who have had a placement, internship, or industry experience as part of their degree. Use dot points to list your responsibilities, achievements, duties, projects…  \nProfessional Memberships  \nInclude memberships to professional or industry bodies. This highlights your industry currency.  \nReferees (optional)  \nRecommended 2 referees – supervisor, manager, or academic if you do not have work related referees. Avoid personal referees. Always obtain their permission first and keep them abreast of the progress.  \nOPTIONAL HEADINGS  \nProfile or Career Objective Publications  \nIndustry Specific Skills Certificates and Licences Professional Development Interests  \nVoluntary Work Referees  \nCo-curricular Activities  \nLANGUAGE  \nUse professional vocabulary and industry language. Take tips from the language used in the job advertisement! Action verbs assist in highlighting your skills e.g. negotiated, finalised, optimised and created  \nHYPERLINKS  \nWhen referring to any online evidence or portfolio ensure to include a simple hyperlink attached to one word – do not include the full URL.  \nDO  \n• Thoroughly research the organisation and position to determine what the employer is looking for  \n• Tailor to the job description using key words  \n• Be clear, concise, and truthful  \n• Generally, 2 pages in length  \n• Use a simple and consistent layout – font, size, bullet points, tab spacing  \nAVOID  \n• Spelling and grammatical errors  \n• Writing jargon/ slang  \n• Clipart or photographs  \n• Borders or fancy font  \n• Writing long paragraphs of text  \n• Including tables  \n• Copying a resume sample word for word  \nSARAH SMITH  \nWollongong NSW 2500 0412 345 678  [ssmith@uowmail.edu.au](ssmith@uowmail.edu.au)  \nEDUCATION  \n\n| Bachelor of Nursing | 2017 – Dec 2019 |\n| --- | --- |\n| University of Wollongong |  |\n| Certificate III in Aged Care – CHC30102\u003Cbr>Wollongong TAFE | 2018 |\n| Higher School Certificate\u003Cbr>Wollongong High School\u003Cbr>ATAR: 92.8\u003Cbr>KEY SKILLS | 2014 |\n| High Level Patient Care: Demonstrated in high quality of work with patients with complex needs attested by supervisors at Granny Smith’s Aged Care Home.\u003Cbr>Analytical and Assessment: Highly competent in comparing assessment finding with what is expected for the condition and include or exclude alternative diagnoses as developed through","cbCaijj0EgUoOXyD","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijj0EgUoOXyD","pdf",315334,"English","# Career resume guidance\n## Market yourself\n## Resume headings and structure\n## Language, hyperlinks, and formatting do’s and avoidances\n## Example nursing resume content","[{\"question\":\"Why should each resume be tailored to a specific position?\",\"answer\":\"Tailoring ensures the resume highlights the skills, knowledge, abilities, and qualifications the employer is seeking.
