Preparation of a successful resume can be a daunting task.  We are happy to provide you with advice on this subject at our first meeting, should you require it.  As a starting point, a resume (or 'curriculum vitae' or 'CV') is a summary of vital information about you.  Its purpose is to showcase your accomplishments to the employer, so that they can assess whether you are an appropriate person for the job.

Your resume should include the following details:
