Format your resume for Australia
Australian resumes are different from other countries. Keep it to 2-3 pages, focus on achievements, and include a career summary.
Why this matters
A poorly formatted resume gets rejected in seconds. Australian employers expect specific structure.

Use bullet points, quantify achievements, include keywords

Include referees or 'Available on request'
