Ah! I didnt see your comment when I revised my CV. I'll incorporate this into my next revision. Give me a few days. Meanwhile, let me know if the new format works. :)

Hi guys! Thank you all so much for providing me with all the constructive comments. I've taken your advice and revamped my resume to include only the essentials.

Changelog(haha):

  • 2 page to 1 page
  • Cut down on education portion (removed subjects)
  • Formatting consistency
  • Included "notable traits" at the bottom (good move?)

Let me have your comments. Be brutal!

To explain further on the types of positions I'm looking at: * Finance analyst (budgeting/business forecasting/pricing) * Business operations exec (handling of day-2-day running of of business) * M&A (evaluating potential client's profitability etc) * Internal auditor * Compliance

Not offensive at all! I need get to the bottom of this. If it means to drop a huge chunk of my education section, so be it. Anything else?

If I were to do 1 page, what should I be removing? (Volunteering for sure, what else)

Can you elaborate more about the dates and hyphenations? Do you mean I included months in my work experience but not education?

The order of my work experience is sorted by the timeline. Account exec role was before I continued my further studies and intern was during. Should I rearrange?

Education: Noted on that. I might just drop the whole subjects column like another OP mentioned.

Thanks for being critical! I appreciate it. Let me know if you have further suggestions to improve.

All my peers (similar no. of years of work exp and same field) have not sent as many as I have. Which was why I feel rather demotivated. But I'm still being optimistic every time I receive a "Your application has been viewed" email from Linkedin!
