Consider what kind of position you want to target:

  • Academic
  • Research position in industry
  • Non-academic positions in industry, government, and NFP sector

Selection criteria

Consider the selection criteria in the job description.  What is of most interest to the employer and how can you address this?

What you should emphasise

Where should the emphasis be, for example, on academic, technical or transferable skills?  This will determine the length and structure of your resume.
