How do I write an experienced resume in Australia?
Lead with a short professional summary and your work history, written as achievements rather than duties. Put your most relevant roles first, add a key skills section that matches the job ad, and keep education brief below your experience.
How long should an experienced resume be?
Two to three pages is normal in Australia once you have several years of experience. Focus on your most recent and relevant roles, and keep older positions to a line or two.
Should I include every job I have had?
No. Include the roles that are relevant to the job you want and that show your progression. You can summarise older or unrelated roles briefly, or leave them off if they add nothing.
