Hi there, I’ve been told that Deloitte (London, UK) is going to make me an offer but haven’t heard back and it’s been over two weeks. The recruiter mentioned it would be around the “m2 grade”. Any idea what this pay range is? … I have 3 YOE working in NHS finance and have applied for a position in Risk Advisory, public sector. Curious what life at Deloitte is like? Does a work life balance exist?

The resume design game is really hard.
I have a few suggestions for you :)
1. The completion/skill proficiency rings are a thing of the past. If you have experience in it, put it, if you don’t, don’t. No recruiter or hiring manager wants to see that you only know 75% of a program… plus, what does that even mean? lol
2. Watch for widows throughout (I see a few 😉)
3. In general, your layout would benefit from white space. Increase the leading and spacing between sections. If it drops to 2 pages, so be it.
4. Some grammatical errors throughout.
5. Shorten the behance link to just be.net/[your username] to save on space at the top.
Happy to help you go through and edit if you want to send it to me as a PDF. DM me if you want and I’ll share my email!
This will not work for applicant tracking systems which is what most companies use…. Make your resume a word document. Yes, even as a designer. As soon as I did that, I was able to get a ton more interviews. https://www.topresume.com/career-advice/what-is-an-ats-resume
If the company asks for you to email a resume, send the designed one. All other applications send the ATS compliant one.

Resume is overly designed IMO, making it appear a bit outdated. A good start would be to remove the black background on the left, remove the software circles (just make a bulleted list) and reduce the size of your logo (or just eliminate it). Put more emphasis on the content and focus on good typography with a clean/simple layout
Take all the above design suggestions very seriously. But I’ll chime in on content. It’s all very vague right now. Show me your accomplishments! What impact did you bring to your company / client.
I did [x] that led to [y]:
“Led redesign of client’s social media strategy and increased social media following by x%.”
Try using the xyz approach for as many bullets as possible with quantifications: « accomplished x, as measured by y, by doing z.

Don’t use donut charts for skills. It’s arbitrary, there’s no understanding of a baseline and values are based off nothing.
