How to write a resumé
A resumé (also known as a curriculum vitae or CV) is a marketing document summarising your qualifications, key skills and work history. A potential employer uses this information to decide whether you meet the job requirements and whether to select you for an interview.
To make a good first impression, a well-written resumé needs to be clear, concise and neatly organised. And you need to tailor its content to the position you’re applying for.
