If
you have worked part-time, casual or even voluntary you
should include the following details:
- Name
of the company and a brief description of
what they do.
Example - BLOGGS PTY LTD is a manufacturer and distributor
for widgets throughout Australia
- The year that you
worked for the company.
Example November 1998 to Present (or the date that you finished working)
using months.
- Your job title - Example Customer
Service Operator.
- Your duties and responsibilities - In point form, list
all of the things that you do on a daily basis in your
job. Include everything that you do because it can really
show how skilled and responsible you are in your job.
- References/ Referees -
Written references from an employer, school, family
or friends are great and copies should be included
in a presentation folder.
- Avoid using
original documents because you may not get them back.
Be aware that, generally speaking, most
references are conducted verbally so you will have to
pick someone that can speak honestly about you as a person
as well as verify any work that you did.
People who can speak honestly about you include supervisors
or managers that you work for, teachers, school principal,
year master, a head member of a church, sport group
or organisation that you belong to.
- Carefully
select your referees so
that you are confident that they will speak highly
and honestly about you.
- Include
at least 2-3 references if
possible.
- Speak to your referees first and get permission to
use their name and contact details in your resume
or on an application form.
- It is also a good idea to keep in contact with
your referees and to call them if you have been
for an interview let them know they may be contacted.
