i've had a lot to do with applicants for jobs, and recommend the following:
first page - name, address etc, personal statement eg "XYZ has had experience in customer service, sales and administration. He/she enjoys dealing with people and is seeking a position that challenges his/her critical thinking" Education and training (list all).
Next pages - List all work experience as follows:
1999-2001 XYZ Company
Clerical Assistant
Duties -
- Answering telephone enquiries
- Maintaining client database
- Invoicing
- Reconciliation
- Report writing as required
- Liasing with clients
etc etc
Next section: Organisations and affiliations - this could be professional or personal such as Board Member for XYZ company
Hobbies and interests - well, that's obvious
Mine also has a section for writing and publishing achievements, but if you have another skill, sporting, creative whatever, put that in.
Lastly, the contact name, position and company for two referees.
Take care with cover letters - even a spelling mistake can mean you get tossed away. Answer all of the selection criteria as best you can, relating it to your past experience and ambitions for the future.
I could show you my resume, but don't want to put it online.
hope that helps
