How to use a worksheet well

Write down what you know, what you suspect and what you need to check. Separate the employer’s requirements from the skills you already have. If the exercise suggests a change, ask what it would help you explain or do. Clearer wording can show work you have done. A new project is useful when it gives you practice you still need.

A ten minute example

Suppose a job asks for SQL joins, but your resume only lists SQL. If you have used joins in a database assignment, describe a query and what you checked. If you cannot yet explain joins, practise first. Keep college assignments labelled as coursework rather than work for an employer.

Development capabilities and public availability

The guides and worksheets here are available now. Personalised tools such as Buddy, automated resume reviews and mock interviews are still being developed. A demonstration on a development page does not mean you can use the service here. Any tool we introduce will explain what it does, what information it needs and its limits.

Keep going

Review Your Resume

Review a resume against one job description. Find unclear evidence, missing requirements and edits you can make honestly.
