Before you Upload your Resume...
Start at the end not the beginning
Write down your current job title and list down all the things you do and are responsible for on a daily baisis. Secondly, prioritise your responsibilitiesand think about the skills you need to do what you do. What do you feel that you have acheived in your role and what have you done that you are really proud of? Asking yourself this will provide you with all the information you need and also get you in a good frame of mind for the rest of the resume.

How do you want it set out?

Now you are underway you need to decide how you want the resume to look. There are a few failry standard types of resume, each with its own benefits. The Chronological resume is almost an industry standard.If you have a fairly stable job history and don't tend to 'job hop', with each move you have climbed steadily up the career ladder then this is the resume for you.The Functional resume is experienced times of unemployment or sporadic job jumps such as those that like to hop around the globe. This resume does not list employment dates or company names but prefers skills and responsibilities.

If you are looking to undertake a career change, or your skills are not directly relevant to the job applied for you should be looking at the Prioritised Resume. This CV/resume is written prioritising the work experience which is most relevant to the job you want. Two pages is a good amount of pages. The people that look at them get bored easily and overlong resumes will find their way more to the bin than the good pile. Choose your content and your words carefully. Treat your resume as sketch of your job history. Make sure you highlight your strengths and abilities to problem solve using active verbs such as "responsible" and "achieved", which have universal appeal.

Make sure you type it!
Type your CV/resume, no fancy fonts or doodles. It should always be a case of substance over style.

Don't lie!
So you weren't principal boy - then say so. Don't exaggerate your achievements, if your success was because of teamwork, identify it as such. It will make your claims more believable.

Spelling

Your skills may win you the battle - but bad typing and grammatical mistakes will lose you the war. Run the spell checker, read your CV/resume more than once or better still enroll a friend as a second pair of eyes.

Alert your referees
Check your referees before you use their name. It's a courtesy, and a good fail safe - they may have moved.

Don't mention the money
Keep your current salary to yourself for now, unless you're asked directly of course. Otherwise, if you earn too little or too much you'll have ruled yourself out before you even reach the door.
