Hi Scotty,
I am in the same boat as you so I would be interested to hear tips also.
I have done some googling and is does seem that an Aus CV is slightly different.
I have already done my husband's CV for him. Whether I have done a good job yet, we will have to wait and see?! He is in the motor trade so I ended up with a profile ie brief intro, key skills and expertise, work history, qualifications, achievements (I reckoned this was an Aus thing??), and full references x3.
I am procrastinating over my own CV a little bit, but I am still not sure of the 'Aus' CV way? I mean I have come across tips that say I must give my entire work history, however I would say that 1999-2011 working in a lot of places as a waitress and other unskilled roles would be completely irrelevant to now seeking a town planner job in local government?!? A UK CV wouldn't normally cover the entire work history in this case? So I am not quite sure how to get round this.
Definitely interested in any CV tips too.
Good luck with the job hunt!
