:snoop:

This shyt happens at least 3 times before the deadline it seems. Never fails.

A nikka put "Recruited students from to become members " instead of "Recruited students to become..." This is what happens when you try too hard to make your resume perfect or limit it to one page. End up deleting shyt and leaving one word too much or too little fukking up a whole sentence

Damn limiting your resume to one page? I though 2 was the standard.

My aunt said all your relevant experience and info should fit on page 1. Some companies won't even look past the first page. You don't want to see too over-qualified.

Especially in these days I doubt any employers looking past that 1st page

Turns out the resumes I submitted in those applications dont have the error in it :ohlawd:

And yea, for a graduate anything above 1 is absurd. No matter how dope you think you are...1 page should be enough. If you need to change margins...go ahead. But dont go over that one page.

I got two work experiences...two extracurricular/volunteers (all 4 have about 2-4 bullet points) ...4 career related skills, two interests and then the education section at the top

i'm thinking of the best way to teach you the accounting principles necessary to succeed as a basic investor
I've actually been talking to my brother about starting some sort of site where I can put up my equity research reports/educate ppl. hmm. similar to my brothers but with investment instead of music

btw listen to this man brehs, two page resume barely got anything, when i shortened her resume to 1 page, and used your cover letter you posted in higher learning but tailored it to her skills :noah: i got her like 20 interviews in a 3 week span off indeed.ca. This was someone who was applying to tim hortons and mcdonalds and i got them a interview which led to a job paying nearly 50k a year accounts receiveable.
