Why this works in AU

Key differences from a US résumé.

  • Length: 2–4 pages. This example runs 2 pages when rendered.
  • No photo. AU convention — including a photo triggers anti-discrimination concerns.
  • Post-nominals: CA ANZ, CPA, FCPA carry weight and go in the header.
  • Acronyms expanded: CBA → Commonwealth Bank of Australia on first mention; FBT → Fringe Benefits Tax.
  • Australian English: "specialised", "organisation", "programme".
  • Dollar figures in AUD with the "A$" prefix.
  • ANZSCO alignment: the title "Senior Financial Accountant" maps to ANZSCO 221111.
