Without knowing what kind of job you are applying for or what you will be needing it for, it will be difficult to offer advice. What about looking at some of the career sites that offer advice re CV's etc e.g www.monster.com?

I take it this is for the TRA assesment or is it for job applications in australia?

If its TRA try posting on the Auz/NZ Immigration section.

Im sure there are plenty of brickies who have been through the process and have the experience to tell you more.

Also tell them in detail about what tools you use ie: discutters, block cutters, hammers, bolsters, drills, kangols, cement mixers etc.
Mention health and safety, say you were trained in this during your apprenticeship.
Generally make up some bullshit. (like I did)

Oh and another thing, mention that you can read plans, set up the jobs, pricing and estimating. They love all that.
