Headings
Headings should be used to highlight vital information, and structure the resume. Use your own judgment in deciding which headings would impress the employer.
The suggestions in the list are optional as your resume has to show your own individuality and style. Think carefully about the reasons why you would want to include the headings.
-
Personal Details
-
Career Objective
-
Relevant Skills and Experience
-
Employment History
-
Education
-
Professional Achievements
-
Community
-
Additional Skills or Professional Areas of Interest
-
Work History
-
University Placements
It is not necessary to use all (or any) of these headings - you may be able to think of others. Here are some more examples. You can substitute the word 'professional' for your own professional area such as, computing, marketing etc.
Professional Experience, Professional Profile, Professional Achievements, Previous Employment, Career Highlights, Career Summary, Precis of Experience, International Career, Career Overview, Employment Record, Research and Publications.
It is also effective to use words which relate to your industry. A computing student may wish to use the headings 'Computing Skills', 'Computer-related Education'.
