Your resume (sometimes called your "CV") is your most important tool when applying for a job. It doesn't matter how qualified you are, or how much experience you have - if your resume is poorly presented or badly written, you're going to have trouble getting the job you want, or even an interview.

Taking the time to work on your resume is really important. Our How to Write a Resume course will give you all the tips and advice on how to make your resume the best it can be.

The purpose of a resume:

Your resume is a marketing tool. It needs to demonstrate:

• That you are employable 
• How you meet the job and the organisation's requirements 
• That you have the right qualifications and education 
• That you have the right experience and skills 
• That you have the right level of professionalism for the job

You should customise your resume for every major job application so that it responds to the specific requirements of the job you're applying for.

You might not need to change much, but you do need to make sure your opening statement, your key skills and your personal attributes all respond to the needs of the role, based on the job ad and the research you've done into the job.

You should also alter your resume to show how your work experience specifically meets the needs of the job you're applying for.
