There are some things common to every Resume/CV when applying for a job IMO:
- Quantifying your statements, ie: increased sales by 20% or managed 15 people
- Always highlight that you have used Excel and Powerpoint(any other software) and for how many years you have used it (including Uni years)
- Interests is often left too general ie enjoy reading books and travelling. This is where one can stand out by saying a bit more about themselves so that they are interesting as a person. In my CV I have mentioned that my interests are in cricket and I have attended two World Cups. All my interviewers have spoken to me for a few minutes at the end of an interview about cricket.
