Mr. Fraudia is right about the chronological resume (use this format if you have the experience and the educational requirements for this job)
and functional/analytical resume (use this format if you are changing fields or if you have just completed the educational requirements for a position in this area) One has to decide which one best suits him/her.
Though i don't know if the same is the case for C.V's.
I have seen guppies mentioning resume quite a lot in this post. I think Cat woman is looking for a Curriculum Vitae.

Some of the very basic things to include in your C.V.:
your pic on the top right
your signatures on the bottom with the date on the left
dob
interests
nationality
single/married...

good points heartbeat,
US guppies please note, on a resume you should not list nationality, marital status etc, it is actually counter productive.
hearetbeat and moona, maybe you should start a seperate thread and explain the difference b/w resume and CV just so ppl know, many ppl use the terms together not realizing the differences.
im 2 weeks away from graduating with a bachelors in HRM inshallha... i got a tip that may help, make sure to mention any special skills u may have that directly relate to the job/program you are applying for. resumes should be made according to the job being applied for. for example if the qualifications for the job/program require an undergrad degree or internet research skills, make sure to mention that u have those qualifications. cant think of any other tricks at the moment, but im sure ill start learning once i get back to working full time in HR. good luck!
I've recently submitted my apps for the PhD program at a couple of univs. - ended up revamping a resume' into a full-blown CV with additional sections such as Publications & Presentations and going into more details about my teaching assignments... ended up on 4 pages.
The question I have has to do with references...
most of the time on resumes', references aren't listed and a person would simply say
"Available upon Request"
Is it usual to actually list your references on a CV though??
Not from what i know. But you could include them or have them on a seperate page. As long as your references know that you are applying to these places and may get a call its fine. Also I am sure you listed the references on the actual application.
btw. care to share your essay. I am thinking about applying next year and need to start thinking about what to write!
