should analyst 2 resume be more than one page?
i had a job in wealth management 6 months then joined IB. before that, cofounded a startup and worked as TA in university. I paid someone to write my resume and they did two pages and I think its too much. what do you think?
One page
1 page. Would not include college stuff like the TA thing since you're an experienced hire
not even the clubs etc?
Thanks
Yes once out of school I would keep the stuff from college to a minimum. Your education section should be small and wouldn't include clubs, etc. unless it was a varsity sport. Just my opinion. I'm 2 years out and mine is most of my resume is from current role and just highlighting different deal experience
one page
One page. Also, it doesn't sound like you've had that many positions so at max: 4-5 bullets per position. I also don't know what your guy did with the font.
exactly my thoughs. it was an update from my previous resume I think they just added a new section to existing one. What is the go to font usually?
There's no "go to font" but you should try to keep it in the range of 10-12 and stretch out the margins as much as possible. I would also check the relevancy of this new section.
lol i think you should ask for your money back
I do not like it at all. Last time to hire someone
I haven't seen a case where paying someone to write your resume has yielded much.
First off, 2 pages is way too long for your experience, executives with 10-15 yrs of experience won’t even go 2 pages in many cases.
Second, the people you are paying have no idea what you did, you can tell them and they can “fluff” it up for you or try and make you sound smart, but the content is so dependent on what you provide.
I recommend having someone who you trust and you have worked with help review your resume (preferably someone a bit more senior). They will know how to sell your experiences, they will help highlight things you missed, and will know what senior professionals are looking for (best of all, they don’t charge you). Anyway, it would raise some serious flags if a person you are paying to make you look good went to 2 pages on a junior resume, that doesn’t make you look good.
totally agree. Thanks for the insights
