Aus CV templates?

Hi All! Does anybody have a template of what they consider to be the perfect Aus CV! - for IT or similar.

About to send mine off - but would like to cross reference and get it right first time :-)

Thanks!

There's a lot of info on recruitment sites, and they sound pretty similar to the UK ones...

I have found that the Aussies do like us to put more info on our resume

Hope that helps

I was told by people here and in Oz to list skills / achievements prominently somewhere in bullet points. Also, ensure you have a bit of a paragraph right after your personal details and before the Education / Employment. Gives them a snapshop of you - a kind of 'here I am and God I'm good' thing.

Good luck,
