What Australian Recruiters Expect
Australian resumes are typically 2 pages, reverse-chronological, with a clear Career Summary, Key Skills, Work Experience, Education, and Professional Memberships. Australian recruiters value humility - let achievements speak for themselves rather than using inflated language. Quantify results, use "I" sparingly, and avoid US-style buzzwords like "rockstar" or "ninja".
Resume for Skilled Visa Applicants
Skilled-visa applicants (subclass 189, 190, 491) need to demonstrate their occupation matches the Skilled Occupation List and that their experience qualifies for skill assessment. Pika's templates support detailed work-history sections with month/year accuracy that VETASSESS, ACS, and Engineers Australia require for skill assessment evidence.
