Deloitte I am 23 and about to graduate from college, I have worked since I was 15, therefore I have about 8 years of work experience in different fields. I have many transferable skills from these and my resume is about 2 page long. Is this okay? I feel like a one-page resume doesn’t portray all my interests/ growth/skills. I am applying for a public sector consulting position at Deloitte.

Your past work experience doesn’t matter. You will come in as a first year campus hire, which you should since you are only 23 and graduating. Keep your resume within one page. 2 page resume will most likely be thrown away to trash during initial screening. If you want to show the full picture, put your most valuable experiences on your resume and make sure to have good stories so you can elaborate on your resume further during interview

You don’t need a lot of skills, you need the right skills for the particular role you’re applying to. They will be more impressed with a handful of highly relevant experiences than a long list of sorta relevant experiences. Condense your descriptions and omit things if needed to get it down to one page

- making and giving presentations

A two page resume will probably work against you. You should rearrange your resume based on the job your applying for. only include the experience and skills that are directly related to that role or even only the ones included in the job post.

Hey bud, your experience is always gonna count in some form or the other in consulting since it’s client facing; just that not everything is resume-worthy. Speak to other entry level consultants that got in recently to better understand and manage resume expectations. You’ll be fine. All the best.
