My thoughts about what employers would like to see in a résumé or CV are to:
- Keep it short/brief. It should not be longer than 2 or 3 pages. Employers don't have the time and don't want to go through heaps of pages about yourself.
- If you don't have much experience, you can just put little things down. For example things you've done at school, volunteering things and sports.
- Employers like to see a whole rounded person not just someone who has really good grades.
- Include other things like education skills, any sort of work experience, interpersonal skills, interests, references and any extra-curricular activities
You will need to be prepared for the recruitment process. Most Cadetship/Internship jobs have a recruitment process as follows:
- The applications stage - to learn more about you
- Interview process - Firstly a phone interview then a face to face interview
- Testing - not a right or wrong, mainly testing your ability
- Group assessments - case studies and presentations to show your team working skills
- Networking opportunit
This might seem all daunting to you but if you prepare well you could get what you're looking for. You get out what you put in. The interview process is not there to trick you. It's an opportunity to find out more about each other. Hope this helps you to find what you're looking for! I used these sorts of principles and it helped me.
