It is important that your resume reads clearly and is up to date. Simple formatting, clear outlines and well described employment history will score you top points with employers. Your resume should contain the following sections:

• Your goal or objective - this should be a brief but extremely effective synopsis of what you wish to achieve, your goals, how your skill set applies to the role you are applying for, and what you can bring to the organisation in the way of your skill set and abilities.
• Personal details including your full name, address, contact numbers, D.O.B. 
• Summary of personal and professional skills and attributes
• Summary of computer skills
• Education
• Professional organisation memberships you hold
• Employment history - remember to start with your most current position and for each position state the dates of commencement and termination including a month as well as a year, a brief synopsis of the company touching on the industry type, specialisation areas, and the size of the company, any achievements on the job, and list all the duties and responsibilities the job entailed.      
• Referees - remember to include at least 3 professional referees, preferrably from 3 most recently held positions.
