Bump
Last bump attempt..
Could it be justified? Yes.
Should you? It doesn´t really make a difference.
What do you think is gonna happen? That they´re gonna be so blown away by your 6-10 weeks of experience that they forget about your non-target education? I would stick to the regular format.
Not blown away as such, but having transactions / deals experience before applying to the SA program in Australia is almost unheard of and I do need every edge I can get. Unsure how true this is, but I feel like if my non-target is the first thing they see - they have no real inclination to read on. That's all.
Thanks for your reply, fellow colleague...
If they ding you on the non-target, I think that would have happened regardless of whether you put it first, or last in your resume.
After the work you did in our risk department, I feel confident that you will have plenty of interviews!
I would hope so Will, but it was mostly an expansion on Eric Dale's work.
