Can anybody help? Having to reapply for my job :/ need resume advice.

[LunaMay]

Just that really. They've decided to cut the group i work in from 10 staff to 5. Those left will then have the chance to remain casual or go permanent part time. They want us all to basically reapply for our job.

My problem is its been nearly 6 or 7 years since i've had to prepare a resume or cover letter.
I attached a pic of how my old one was set out (info removed obviously) but it doesn't really look like others i've googled online, it was prepared by the career counselor back in the day.
The ones i've googled all look different as well and i'm so confused as some say include certain things (objective for example)while another site will tell me the opposite.
Does anyone have any idea what layout is mostly used these days and what info to include. Do you list your references or just say provided upon request for example??

CVs are quite industry specific in terms of layout content and detail. It is rather like a proverbial piece of string.

Not asking you to reveal your industry but have you tried Googling "recommended template format for [xyz] industry" and carry over relevant details from your current CV to the template.

I would put "References available on request" as it keeps the control with you about when you want them to take up references

There is no need to include Date of Birth and I would not include my dob on a CV. One less thing for them to judge or create preconceived about.

It needs to be:
Personal info (remove date of birth)
Skills
Employment history
Education
Voluntary work

That format is quite dated so I'd recommend you download a more contemporary one from the internet

Thank you! I'll have another look and see if I can find something specific to support work.
