This document provides guidance on creating an effective resume. It recommends including key personal information like name, address and contact details at the top. The next sections should highlight qualifications, education history, relevant experiences including jobs, volunteer work and responsibilities, awards and activities, computer skills, and references. Resumes should be one page maximum, use a consistent font, and focus on relevant qualifications rather than providing full life histories or unnecessary details like wages. The goal is to showcase skills and qualifications for the job in a clear, easy-to-read format.
