Your resume is your personal marketing tool—it needs to be clear, compelling, and tailored to the roles you want. Here are essential tips to craft a resume that catches recruiters’ attention in the competitive Australian engineering and design sectors:
Keep It Concise and Relevant
Aim for 2-3 pages maximum. Focus on the most recent and relevant experience that aligns with the job description.
Use a Clear Format
Choose a clean layout with headings like Summary, Experience, Education, and Skills. Use bullet points for easy reading.
Tailor Your Resume for Each Role
Highlight keywords and skills from the job posting to pass through Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) and resonate with recruiters.
Showcase Achievements, Not Just Duties
Instead of listing tasks, describe your impact with measurable results—e.g., “Led a team of 5 engineers to complete a $10M infrastructure project ahead of schedule.”
Include Technical and Soft Skills
Mention relevant software, tools, certifications, and communication or leadership skills.
Proofread Thoroughly
Errors can cost you an interview. Use spell-check tools and ask someone else to review your resume.
