Can I put future internships in resume?
>inb4 2 pages
Acceptable in Australia

That's... actually not half bad.
Is there a particular word limit you have? Or are you just trying to keep it to 2 pages? It's what I did too.
>>1073722
No particular word limit. Just kept it under two pages.
>>1073698
Looks really good m8. I would consider changing a few things here and there but honestly they are so minimal that it's probably not worth the effort typing them out. What positions are you looking for?
>>1073747
Mostly preparing for graduate programs and looking for part-time/casual entry level jobs like payables, receivables
>>1073750
what companies/divisions? I would suggest you avoid payables and receivables unless you really have no other option - someone with your level of relevant experience should be able to do better.

what idiot told you that?
>>1073751
I don't know man, I have pretty shit overall GPA (although my last semester is great and I intend to keep it that way until graduation).
I'm leaning towards going to audit for mid-tier firms (there's one that I'm especially targeting) or if all else fails, small suburban firms.
Also, I don't know how relevant my experience is really apart from my future internship on April.

Uni careers were harping about 1-2 pages. Do you think I should then limit it to 1 page?
>>1073752

Most resume's I see at work are 2-3 pages, sometimes a bit more depending on the position. Definitely not unusual in Australia to see mulitpage resumes.
OP, consider putting a linkedin thing up the top of your page, adn you could maybe shrink some bits if you are concerned about the page count.

>uni careers
think about who it is you're taking advice from. working as a career adviser at a university is a fucking dead-end job that requires zero training and gets paid jack shit. they regurgitate what their internal documents say. they may help idiots succeed, but for anyone above a certain level their advice is a definite hindrance. it's like asking a girl for dating advice. she'll tell you what she thinks is right, but it's not based on any worthwhile, real-world experience.
i graduated from an australian uni in 2013 and i got a shitload of interviews and offers based on a half-page resume. that half page was very good, so maybe you'll need a longer resume if your content isn't so strong (although it looks good to me, name recognition is important at this early stage though)
>limit it to 1 page?
yes, which shouldn't be too hard - you have a lot of whitespace
>>1073760
Yeah definately cut down on the white space. Cheat by removing the spaces between them.
Can you expand a bit on your roles? Use the star model if you can (Situation, task, action, result).
Also, put full stops at the end of your dot points!
>>1073759
Yeah, I have linkedin. I don't have a proper profile pic yet so I'm hesitant in putting it on resume
>>1073760
Okay I'll try on slimming it down.

The first admin job I did mostly archiving (scanning, filing, shredding etc.) and then mostly backup of files. There are around 3-4 days total of the 3 years I have worked there where the finance controller had me input data for his spreadsheet and file BAS
The second one is data entry for not-for-profit. Basically organising and making spreadsheets regarding their application status (i.e. if they had the two needed certifications, completed training modules, managers, etc.)

2 pages is ideal for real world resumes. Just not for burger flipping resumes

I love how /biz/ contradicts itself.
The other resume thread went like 10-2 in favour of one-page resumes.
>>1074170
If you're applying for a job you want your qualification and education, then you want a relevant work history.
Depending in the job and industry this can be over one page.
Personally I have one page with education, technical, soft skills. Then work history for the past 3 years, since I'm a student this is a good format.
Say I was more experience in my industry, I can shorten education and remove soft skills altogether, and have a brief work history of relevant jobs.
It really depends on the job youre applying for and how much experience in that industry you have. I'm a cs and math major with no real world experience yet. So I can't rely on technical and work history I need to talk about education and soft skills.

It's not like biz is a single collective - we are all individuals with individual thoughts and opinions. We also all live in different countries and fields - here a 2-3 page resume is very common and I have never personally seen a 1 page resume before in real life. In other countries it would be very different though.
Rate me, I'm a sophomore in college.

Its a giant paragraph, split it up and organize it so its easier/quicker to read
