Standard method to document software by flowcharts?

I know how to program but I'm not familiar with normal methods of flowchart documentation.

I see some jobs advertized for the City that say I should know how to make flow charts to document code that I would write if I were to succeed in landing the position.

How could I go about picking up this skill?

Are there standards for creating these flowcharts?

How do people know what details to keep in and what details to leave out?
