I’m updating my resume for the first time since I graduated from college - I’m S1 and only worked at PA for my full time career.. can someone help me getting idea what to add on bullet points? Especially for the associate section, I’m having hard time to come up with multiple bullet points since all I did was substantive testing 😓

I asked this and was just told “what are you proud of? What did you do that had impact?” Etc. I mostly ended up listing bullets that related to my PDs, focusing on saving hours, performing high-level tasks, and creating automations.

People hiring you know what an associate does - you need to tell them what else you did that differentiates you from everyone else.

I would look at the jobs you are applying to, it will list past experience they are looking for. Use that as guide, and try to apply your experience to as many points on the job posting as possible. I think that resume will provide a better chance of getting an interview compared to a generic template with your career highlights. That’s what I did and i found better success. Granted I left as an A2 so take that with a grain of salt.

Agree with others here. The biggest take away I got from my student career center was each resume should be tailored to the job you are applying for. By now, you have a lot of experiences and a full bucket of knowledge, skills, and abilities. It may be helpful for you to list an inventory of your KSA and use it as a resource while creating the resume for that job application you find you want to pursue. That said, if you want a general format, I think you could do a high level description of the work you did and the relevant regulatory environment. Additionally, I would reach out to the office of career services at your old college and see what resources they have available to reference. Only problem with that is the formatting will be more general and not be the best layout for your accounting experience. Good luck.

going through this process as well! i found looking at online resumes for my current position are SO helpful. I know what I did but I struggle to put in into words, so the online resumes help spark inspiration. Also, look at the job descriptions of what you’re applying to & pull key words/verbs in as applicable. I used resumeworded.com to compare how my resume aligns with the job listing and it showed key words that I missed including in my resume

Try and answer these questions and I guarantee you will see improvements:

- why were you not just another auditor (secure rotations in other departments? program technology?)
- how did you drive results (create efficiencies, improve margin) and how did this impact your performance (early promotion, lead to rotations).
- what extra curriculars did you do besides audit?
-what experience do you have that will be relevant to the position you are applying for?

Friday was complicated. So, I am going to break it down. Nasdaq 100 Futures (NQ) traded to the 9837 level, 32.75 points short of it's 50% HWB short. It then proceeded to sell off like nobody's business to 9846.50, 31.5 points higher than the projected objective for the HWB short. So, if you followed me on the channel, we were positioned for a nice rally at the end of the day. Markets have no memory on Friday afternoon. So, I think we are going up eventually and rally hard.
