Guide to Writing Your Resume

Your resume is your personal marketing document — often the first impression you make with a potential employer. That’s why it should clearly outline your skills, experience, qualifications, and achievements in a way that’s tailored to the role you’re applying for.

At GBS Recruitment, we’re often asked to write resumes on behalf of job seekers. While we’re happy to provide that service, we believe the most powerful resumes are written by you. You know your experience, strengths, and aspirations better than anyone else — so your language, tone, and style will always be the most genuine and effective.

To help you get started, we’ve created a practical Resume Writing Guide, complete with tips and a basic template. This guide is designed to help you craft a professional, authentic resume that reflects your unique background and career goals.

If you’d like more layout ideas, Microsoft Word includes a wide selection of free resume templates. Simply open the program, select “New,” and search for “resume” to explore. These templates are a great starting point and can be customised to suit your personal style and industry.
