HR Manager: Your resume is a very important document and with your application and cover letter it’s the employer’s first introduction to you, and the measure of your suitability for the job. Remember that employers receive a lot of applications, so you have to make all your documents as readable and as user- friendly as possible. The layout of your resume should be in a simple font, 11 or 12 point in Times New Roman or Arial script. Your contact details should be up-to-date and the e-mail address serious and not too much of an attention-grabber. We generally advise people not to include age and marital status because some people object to being asked these questions. Likewise, you don’t have to include information about your religion though sometimes this question may appear on the application form. It’s advisable to include all information about; your work experience, including temporary and part-time jobs since this will give the employer some insight into your background in dealing with customers and working as part of a team. Of course, give all relevant information about your education and include details on your involvement in sports and volunteer work, too, because this shows your personality. Of course, you should read the job ad carefully and follow the instructions given there. Make sure that you get approval from your references before including their names on your resume.
