Australian Resume Tips
Australian Resumes are
different to American and European
styles. Australian Resumes tend to be 2-4 pages long using Australian
English or English UK spelling. An Australian Resume is achievement
based and should articulate major initiatives, key milestones and/or the
impact made during employment to stand out from the competition.
Your resume plays an important role in keeping track of
your contributions and ultimately selling your potential. Apply for your
next career with a professionally resume written for the Australian
marketplace.

Australian Resume Writing tips:
You have 15-30 seconds to make an
impression. So your resume has to be clear, concise and relevant to
avoid being pushed aside. Depending on your profession, you should aim
to sell ‘why you’ in 1-3 pages.
Tips to get past the 15-30 second

experience, talent, knowledge, and special skills. Give the reader a
