Optimum resume (CV) length - Graduate property student
Just finished my last few assignments a week or so ago and am now a free man.. 

Having graduated with a degree in property development and valuation in Australia, and having done some internship experience with both a development firm and a valuation firm I've realised my strengths and passions align most with investment based roles (I.e. acquisitions, asset management). Development was interesting and seemed rewarding but the numbers side to valuation made me tick. As such my ideal graduate role in the industry would likely be an analyst position of sorts working with either a transactions or a fund team, or even advisory/research to build a strong skills base, with long term aspirations to be involved in a position where there are opportunities to grow/challenge myself and earn bonuses or commissions based on results. Currently I'm leaning more towards retail due to complexity of deals.

My CV with my work experience and skills/qualities etc is currently 1 page long, and written with help from a supportive construction manager. At a careers workshop I attended today, they suggested I shouldn't constrain myself by size and instead focus on well documenting my experiences, although to check with people in the industry. Does this seem reasonable? Would you discount a 2/3 page resume or is that acceptable?

Many thanks to all

People should look at a resume quickly get a feel for your greatest hits and move on. Over the years I\u2019ve like pulled back a ton on what I write about my early career and focus more on the hits of what I\u2019m doing in my current role - I wouldn\u2019t have my current responsibilities if it weren\u2019t for the stuff I did before that to make me ready for more recent roles. At the end of the day if you\u2019re like 33 no one cares what you did in the minutiae of your first job from 21-24. They also don\u2019t care about shit like \u201cI wrote investment committee books\u201d when that\u2019s an expectation. More like \u201cI did x deals for an aggregate return of $x / yXM / Z %\u201d and then I did a super complicated offshore deal to give people a flavor of what you did.", "replies": [{"id": "hm4sv2r", "text": "Great summary and good points.
