Two questions!!!

Career Opportunities & Internships
1

<p>1) I revamped my resume and used a different template, but when I finished I noticed that it was over 1 1/2 pages long. I don't know if that is the norm, but we have a career fair coming up at my university and I don't know if a resume in that format would be of a disadvantage to me. What would be your suggestion? Should I shorten it? Because if I did that would mean that I would have to delete a section of my work experience.</p>

<p>2) I'm looking into Personal Banking as a career after college. The only thing that I believe can hinder my chances of obtaining such a position is the fact that I posses two degress not related to Business. Also I read somewhere that many people who go into Personal Banking start off as Bank Tellers. Is there some truth to this? I mean after four years of college, I don't want to start off as a bank teller. Is there a possibility that one can go directly into Personal Banking. </p>

<p>*Also note that I plan on pursuing an MBA after 2-3 years of work experience, do you think a FT job in Personal Banking is the right move?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Either condense it to 1 page or expand it to 2 pages. Always have full pages in your resume.</p>

3

<p>2 pages is too much for an entry-level resume. Condense it to one page. </p>

<p>How much work experience do you have listed? How much whitespace do you have?</p>

4

<p>its all about white space. and im sure that you can format it different to make it a page long.</p>

5

<p>Personal Banker is an extension of the Teller job, just with less money handling, more sales and a desk instead of a window to work at.</p>

<p>Try to condense your resume to one page or 1 1/4 pages. Leave off things that are not pertinent to the job you are applying to.</p>

<p>1 page.
If you're a grad student w/ papers and what not, then you're talking about a CV, where >1 page is OK.</p>

<p>If you really have AMAZING stuff that you have to put on there, do so. But otherwise 1 page.</p>
