Detailing your work history.

It is not an easy task detailing your work history. Many of us take the everyday aspects of our role for granted. We don't give a second thought to the daily tasks that are commonplace to us can be the salvation of a prospective employer.

How you represent your duties and responsibilities is important. Remember that your resume has no place for waffle. It is important to keep sentences short and strong. They need to grab the reader's attention and to do this they need to be short and punchy yet incorporate the necessary detail.

Sentences should be indicate action rather than read like a post mortem of your working life.

See example below:
