Could anyone tell me the correct layout for an Aus CV/Resume..are there any do's/dont's i should be aware of?

Hubby is a locksmith and doesn't have a trade certificate so there wont be much to put under qualifications..he is all self taught so just wanted some advice on how i should make potential employers aware of his capabilities..I don't want to waffle and put them off if you know what i mean

I had thought about emailing a simple CV and then writing in detail everything he can do to send as an additional attachment...any suggestions??

Hi

 

First thing Resume is longer than a CV -- it includes examples where possible of work or jobs.

 

Where possible attach references from clients / employers / customers etc

 

basic layout not much different .. see sample below

 

The next thing /tip try to make sure there is no jargon or abbreviation on the document that would not be the same in Australia as in UK
