1. First of all. A big Hello to someone from Nambour. I'm from there as well. I live in London now. I miss the sunny coast!! And your resume is well formatted. And you have impressive grades and achievements. Well done. You are going to find a job easily.
2. Peronal Details remove your birthday, remember this is not an application this is more a letter of introduction. Remove your subjects: there is no need for it since the employer will know that you are going to school. This you can use to your advantage at the interview. Your Computer skills follow by your work experince and this should go after your personal profile. Your interest and activities if they are not related to work keep them for the interview remember you are looking to be professional. This is the way I would organize it: Personal Details Personal Profile Computer Skills use Proficient in :~~~~~~~~ Work Experience Education Achievements Most recent Results I would also suggest that you make a prove it folder. It is a simple folder were your can keep your Resume, Professional Contacts, Personal Contact and any certificates you have received and you can show it to your interviewer this really wows them. Best of luck you are very intelligent.
