Is it still best practice to list your current position experiences on your resume in present tense? For example, im currently an A3 in audit so am I supposed to start all my bullet points under Assurance Associate like “prepare” instead of “prepared?”

If you’re still working there then yes.
Unless you’re trying to hide that you’re at pwc, it’s probably the best practice.

Yes…current position in present tense. Prior positions in past tense.

Honestly I think it looks better to have the whole thing in a consistent tense. Rather than one section Present, others past

Sure - but the general practice is still to have present tense on current employment, past tense on others. I also dislike it though.

I review a lot of resumes and personally never notice this. Just make sure you check your resume for spelling, sentences are clear and concise, and you don’t space it out so much - if you only have enough to fill one page, just fill one page.

Went through multi-day loop for L5 SA and felt confident in my interactions. Presentation went well with no lack of answers for follow up questions. Just found out 6 days later I will not be receiving an offer, and it is policy to not provide feedback of gaps or reasons behind no offer. Also found out they ask you not to reapply for 1 to 2 years for same role. Would anyone recommend an alternate path for feedback on interview (outside of recruiter) and is the 1-2 year policy true?
