Guide

Career documentation guides

Which document you need, when, and how they work together.

CV, resume or both

A CV is usually longer and fuller; a resume is usually one or two pages and tailored. The right choice depends on country, sector and the reader.

The supporting set

A cover letter explains why this role; a statement answers set criteria; a profile introduces you. Each has a different job.

Keep a master file

Maintain one long record of everything you have done, and draw each tailored version from it.

Begin in writing

Tell Heather what you need.

You do not need the perfect terminology. Write what is happening and what you are working toward.
