![]() Wow, so many things in this thread to opine on.
1. You need experience for MAAA and not ASA or FSA 2. OP needs to work on their English 3. I would throw out an EL resume in a heart beat if it was two pages, probably without even reading it. 4. If OPs resume is good they won't need to state that they don't require sponsorship. I never put "I don't require sponsorship on my resume". I doubt people would guess that just by the name. |

![]() I disagree with 4. If you went to school in another country, or working in another country, or is English isn't your first language, and you don't need sponsorship, you should state on the resume or cover letter that you don't need sponsorship.
Why risk someone tossing your resume for that reason? |

![]() Not the APC but the CoP on the CAS side - one of our instructors in a breakout session found out that an attendee was unemployed. The instructor said that any pre-ACAS far enough along in exams to attend the CoP was in too high of demand to be unemployed and to come talk to him if they needed a job.

Regarding the one-page or two page resume debate, I agree with a Forbes article: https://www.forbes.com/sites/dailymu.../#d8e8f333544d Regarding academic resume, there is no length limit. You list all your publications, conference paper accepted, invited presentation, internal positions, membership, media coverage, research grant awarded....... My resume has been reviewed by a couple recruiting firms including DW Simpson. They told me that two page is fine. When the companies are recruiting through an academic conference, they have no problem accepting academic resume. I don't think that it is necessary to put your immigration status on the resume. Almost all online job applications would ask you one question: Will you now or in the near future need visa sponsorship? They will assume that you truthfully answer it. When you answer yes, sometimes the system won't even allow you to proceed. Last edited by econfkw; 01-06-2018 at 03:19 AM.. |

An EL candidate's resume might be 2+ pages long because he/she is a career changer with useful skills and/or because he/she has other accomplishments in addition to a university degree. |

Even with lots of experience, you should not put anything really important on the second page. ![]() JMO, of course.

I've been in this field more than 20 years, and my actuarial resume is two pages long. But a couple of years ago I applied for a part time teaching position. They didn't care that I started in pensions and now do P&C, nor that I've work pricing and reserving, nor that I've worked with personal and commercial, primary, assumed, and ceded. They didn't care how much money I made for my employer, or how I had improved processes. No, what I wanted to tell them with my resume was that I'd been responsibly employed all that time, and had supervisory and mentoring roles, and that I'd often been responsible for presenting stuff and training others. My resume for that job was 2/3 of a page (I may have stretched it to cover most of the page). I got the job. |
