Bain & Company Recently applied to Bain & Company with a 2 page resume, but then I read that consulting generally prefers a 1 page resume (I have 10 years of industry experience). Does recruiting view your application more favorably with a 1 page resume vs 2 page resume? Also, is there any way to update your application once you have applied ?

You should be able to talk more, but put together a creative 1 pager executive summary in the namw of a resume.

I’ve been in consulting for 10 years and can barely fit just that into one page, let alone the 10 years I had before consulting. Sometimes two pages is necessary- don’t confine yourself to a standard but also make sure you’ve cut any redundancy in what’s said.

2 pages for anyone generally over 10 years and multiple companies/roles

👍 PWC1…🤡

You’re fine, there are bigger things at play when considering an application than the resume page count of 1 vs. 2 (not suggesting anyone send more than 3, if only for the fact that no one will have time to go through all that during screening and later on in the interview process)

Hello,

Long time fishbowl lurker, first time poster.

I work in Healthcare consulting (8 yoe). I'm incredibly passionate about Healthcare and have thought a lot about how to make meaningful changes that keep people healthy and how it can be affordable and accessible to all. I know Google has been operating in the Healthcare market. Anyone here open to connect so I can learn more about its current activities/future plans? I'd like to see if there's a role that I'd be a good fit for.

Thank you!

I am a registered sales assistant which means I have my series 7. I also have the 63 and my Life & Health license.

I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?
