Australian career advice
Australian hiring runs longer and more literally than the UK or the US. The resume can stretch to three or four pages, referees are usually named rather than hidden, and a large share of government, health and large-employer roles are decided as much by a written key selection criteria response as by the resume itself. These guides cover what is specific to Australia: the resume format, how to answer selection criteria without just restating them, and how referees actually work here. For universal advice on structure and ATS, the global career advice library goes deeper. If you are applying from abroad, start with the international job seekers guide.

Referees on an Australian resume: who to list and how
The UK drops referees entirely and the US rarely lists them either. Australia is different, and getting the convention wrong is a small, avoidable signal that a resume was not built for this market.
