How do I write a resume, miss?

She couldn't find the Careers Adviser, so I was her next port of call.  "How do I write a resume, miss?  I have one, but I don't think it's very good, and I want a better part-time job."

OK.  Some quick searching later, and we landed on the Youth Central site from the Victorian government and hit paydirt:

• An outline of what to include in a resume
• A list of sample resumes covering various situations (eg. some work experience/none, finished school/not)
• And here's the sample she's working with - not finished school but some work experience.

The samples can be downloaded as pdfs or as Word files.

She went away happy.  I've bunged it on here so it can be useful for others.  It's all good.

This site looked useful too: http://www.how-to-write-a-resume.org/
