Australian Resume Tips

Format & Length

Most Australian employers prefer a 2-page resume for experienced candidates. New graduates can use 1 page. Unlike US CVs, photos are not expected on Australian resumes and are actively discouraged by major employers to prevent bias.

ATS Optimisation

Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) scan resumes for keywords before a human sees them. Use plain formatting, match keywords from the job ad, and avoid tables or text boxes. Our builder creates ATS-compatible plain-text formatted CVs.

Key Sections

• Contact details (no date of birth, no nationality required)
• Professional Summary (2–4 sentences tailored to the role)
• Work Experience (reverse chronological — most recent first)
• Education (most recent qualification first)
• Skills (match keywords from the job description)
• Referees available upon request (list names only if space allows)
