    Resume Strategy:
    Lucy was a promising young Landscape Architect who had managed to get some sensational runs on the board. Lucy offered
    credentials in landscape architecture, internships with 3 recognised Australian landscape studios, global recognition and
    awards, 2 pending patents and some very well-received study papers. She was pursuing her dream and put every ounce of
    her being into that passion to be successful.
    Lucy was applying for graduate positions in landscape architecture, urban planning and research. I used the very same
    approach to writing her resume as I would with a senior executive. I front-loaded her achievements using metrics where
    possible, highlighted her many accolades (first and last pages) and included anything I possibly could that boosted her
    candidacy for target roles. I matched the colour palette to her industry and maximised white space to enhance readability.
    Lucy approached her preferred landscape architecture company with her new resume and was offered a graduate position.

    Please Note: This resume was written for the Australian market; therefore, spelling, dates, and acronyms, are in line with
    relevant standards. The format was kept at A4 sizing (in compliance with 2021 TORI requirements) and page length fits within
    the 3 to 4 pages widely accepted across Australia as best practice. Content has been fictionalised to protect client privacy.
