Resume & cover letter FAQs
What's the difference between a resume and a cover letter?
A resume is a structured summary of your work history, skills and qualifications. A cover letter is a short, tailored message you send with your resume that explains why you're a good fit for the specific role and employer.
How long should my resume be?
For most Australian job seekers, two pages is the sweet spot. Recent graduates and entry-level candidates can usually fit everything on a single page, while senior professionals with 10+ years of experience may need three pages.
Do I need to customise my resume for every job?
Yes. Tailor your resume and cover letter to each role by mirroring the language used in the job ad, prioritising the most relevant experience, and highlighting achievements that match the selection criteria.
Do I always need to send a cover letter?
Unless the job ad specifically says otherwise, always include a cover letter. It's your chance to introduce yourself, show enthusiasm for the role and demonstrate that you understand what the employer is looking for.
What are the most common resume mistakes to avoid?
Typos and grammatical errors, generic content that could apply to any job, unexplained employment gaps, listing responsibilities instead of achievements, and using an unprofessional email address are the mistakes that most often cost candidates an interview.
