UNSW Resume Template

UNSW Careers & Employment teaches an Australian-format CV with a STEM emphasis — UNSW's strongest hiring pulls are engineering, computer science, medicine, and quantitative finance. The format follows Australian conventions (2–3 pages, named referees at the end, Personal Statement at the top, no photo) and adds a Skills block positioned high on the page for engineering and CS applicants.

• Length: 2–3 pages.
• Font: Arial or Calibri at 10–12 pt.
• Margins: ~2 cm.
• Dates: right-aligned, Month Year.
• Photo: never.

Open with a 3–4 line Personal Statement naming your discipline, technical specialism, and target role.

• For engineering/CS roles, every bullet should name a tool, language, or method.
• Industrial Training (IT) placements and thesis work are treated as full Experience entries.
• Cap each bullet at two lines.

• UNSW Sydney, then degree (e.g. Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) / Bachelor of Science), graduation date.
• Include WAM if competitive (UNSW uses a percentage WAM out of 100).
• Honours class noted on the degree line.
• Industrial Training and thesis work appear under Experience or as a sub-entry.

For STEM applicants, Skills sits high on the page — directly under Education. Group Programming Languages, Engineering Tools, Languages, Certifications. UNSW Careers recommends a one-line work-rights statement for international graduates.

• Reporting WAM on the wrong scale. UNSW WAM is out of 100 — write "WAM: 82/100".
• Hiding Industrial Training in a generic Internships block.
• Forcing a one-page résumé.
• Photos.
