Career Objective

A definition of your career Career Objective. Your career objective / personal profile should be defined three lines or less.

Professional Experience
This is the most important section of a professional resume. This section should list your key skills along with proof of how you gained these skills. For example, if one of your skills is event organisation, list the events and conventions you have organised.
Use a simple format to show your skills : Skill 1
Achievement 1 related to Skill A
Achievement 2 related to Skill A


Work Experience
This is where you list previous jobs. Also include any unpaid or voluntary work that you've done.
This is optional Your work history isn't strictly required in a functional resume although listing it will show potential employers that you have nothing to hide.
If you work history is irregular, there may well be more disadvantages than benefits by listing it, in which case, skip this part.
Include: year start - year finish, job title , name of organisation , job description in each of your work history items.

Professional Affiliations

List any relevant, active professional affiliations in this section. If you are in doubt as to whether an affiliation will help get the contract signed, don't list it.

Awards
