What Should Your First Resume Include?
1. Contact Information
Your contact information should include your:
- Full Name
- 手机号码
- 家庭地址
- 链接到您的LinkedIn个人资料（如果有一个！）
Note:If you’ve still got an email that has an old nickname in it with a bunch of numbers or even your birthday using Hotmail, it’s probably time you made a new and more professional email account!
That means goodbye to[email protected]和hello[email protected]!
尝试在中设置新电子邮件Gmail or Outlookasno one really uses Hotmail anymore.
If you’ve got a common first name and surname that’s already been taken,try putting the initial of your middle name in ite.g.[email protected]或者if that doesn’t work, initial your first name and middle namee.g.[email protected]

Volunteering looks great on resumes and it’s an easy way to impress employers, so don’t be afraid to show off in this section!

Now’s the time to mention anyacademic related awards,volunteering related awards,leadership awards或任何spirit awards在高中时期，您可能已经收到了！尝试选择最新的。
8. Skills
As an HSC student, you have excellentcommunication skills, as you’ve been practising written and oral communication all throughout school and now you’re an expert. Communication skills are essential to any area of the workforce you’re wanting to apply to sowriting this on your resume is essential!
If you have any extra experience with communication e.g. you were an MC for a school event or attended a writing course, then you should add this as well.
Teamwork! You’ve been doing group-work all throughout school, and potentially you’ve done team sports or organised a school/community event and you should be including this in your resume! This looks great to an employer because it isessential that employees get along and cooperateto give the best service possible.
You have greattechnological skills! You might be like me and feel that technology was designed to make you look foolish… However, chances are you understand how to operate most computer programs, and if not, you’re able to quickly learn this!
In my part time job I was required to learn how to select items from a drop down menu and ensure that the codes matched exactly; I would then have to put the number of each item in. My 40-year-old boss warned me that it was “quite complicated,” however I learned it with ease, and so would most of you!
The point is that your technological skills are good enough to put them on your resume and if you have extra skills i.e.an excellent grasp of Photoshop，您可以添加此。
展示倡议is an excellent skill to have on your resume. Employers are looking forsomeone who can think on their feet to solve problems, this is especially true for retail.
Interpersonal skillsare also a good thing to add; theability to relate to othersis highly desirable to employers as it makes for a cohesive work environment, and in retail makes for good sales!
Anability to work under pressureis essential for most jobs, so it is a good idea to include this in your resume.
9. Availability
When going through your resume, employers will already be thinking about whether your availability will be suited to the needs of the company. Think about your schedule and how often you’d be able to work!
然后，列出您可以工作的那些日子和时间。您可能想这样布置：
- Thursday: 4pm – 9pm
- Saturday: All day
- Sunday: All day
10. References
You don’t actually have to list references on your resume, but for some job applications, you may be asked to include them. Either way, be sure tohave 2-3 references,theircontact details (phone number and email),role and organisation e.g. Mentor, Art of Smart Education.
People you can have as references includeteachers, anysupervisors you’ve had for work experience, or可以保证任何志愿服务的成年人you’ve done. Be sure to ask your chosen references if they are happy to recommend you for jobs first!
如果您选择不将您的参考文献包括在简历中，则可以简单地编写“可根据要求可用的参考”。
Tips for How to Write a Great First Resume
Tip #1: Formatting is key
How youformat your resumeis super important becauseif your resume doesn’t look good, or at least organised, no one is going to bother to read it。And then they won’t be able to tell how fantastic you are!
这我ans you should beusing a uniform font- 我选择的字体一直是佐治亚州，但是任何字体都很好，只要它是clear and legible。当我问我的同事们时，他们认为我应该使用什么字体时，包括Calibri和Arial。
You should also haveheadings!
For each of the sections in your resume, such asWork Experience和Volunteering, you shouldlist activities below each heading in reverse chronological order(from most recent to least recent). This ensures that the most relevant information is what your prospective employer will first see!
短而甜的是关键，因此您的简历应为1-2页（没有封闭的引用）。如果您不喜欢Microsoft Word如何通过移动一个文本框来更改整个文档，请尝试使用免费的在线程序Canva!
Here’s an example of how you might want to format your resume:
Tip #2: Tailor your resume to the type of job you are going for
While it’s easy to have a generic resume that you can submit for any job application,hiring managers would rather see experiences relevant and specific to the jobthey’ve advertised.
So, if you’re looking for a job infood service, highlight anyprevious experience or skills which would convey why you would be great in such a role! For a role that involvesworking with children, highlight previous experiences such asbabysitting– you get the gist.
我的朋友正在Smiggle申请工作，并使用彩虹设计作为她的简历，以迎合该组织并奏效！但是，大多数商店都不会喜欢您的彩虹简历，您应该只坚持一种颜色（我的是海军！）。
Tip #3: Always edit your resume!
Make sure your resume isfree of any typos and grammatical errors! If itreads clearly并且是容易扫描, hiring managers won’t have any difficulty going through your resume and seeing if your skills match the needs of the company.
Keep it up to date too, by including yourmost recent achievements or experiences— so it accurately reflects you!
