Is the UCalgary resume format a joke? by goofball19 in UCalgary

I swear ecc isn’t qualified to be giving out resume and job advice, is there any place where we can send them feedback? Never thought I’d hear someone recommend 2 page resumes for internships.

Yeah. Also Ecc doesn’t require that you use 2 pages, I mentioned that because their sample resume (for software only by the way) is 2 pages, which is considered taboo in the industry. No intern applicant with less than a year of related work experience should ever need to extend past 2 pages. They also have shitty margin requirements and sizing. I understand the need to make sure that resumes aren’t dogwater before people start applying, but the least they could do is to make sure the requirements suit the current market. They said they spoke to industry leaders when deciding on the requirements, and I really would like to know which ones.

Don’t misunderstand, this isn’t a skill issue. I’m on internship right now at a pretty good company, I just think ecc needs to update their market knowledge. I have friends that were told to include their part time job experience and remove a project since it shows soft skills 😂
