What Deloitte looks for

Deloitte's recruiters say to research postings and keyword lists first, then tailor the résumé to the role rather than send one version everywhere. They ask for bullets instead of paragraphs, a clean format without fancy fonts, action verbs and numbers such as goals beaten or costs saved. Awards and performance recognition help. A Deloitte recruiter also warns that you must be able to discuss, in detail and technically, anything the résumé says you led.

Bullet formula: [Action verb] + [what you did] + [quantified result, e.g. 'exceeded goals by 25%' or '20% cost savings']. Only claim what you can discuss in detail in the interview.

Do

  • Before you write, list your relevant experience and achievements and read the job postings and keyword lists for the role.
  • Tailor each résumé to the job and use the posting's keywords and skills, without stretching the truth.
  • Write bullets, not paragraphs, keep the format clean and start every bullet with an action verb.
  • Quantify your wins, as Deloitte's own examples do: goals exceeded by 25%, a process that saved 20%.
  • Include awards and performance recognition, such as medals, top-rated evaluations and honor-graduate finishes.
  • Have a mentor or colleague review it before you submit.

Avoid

  • Don't use fancy fonts or dense paragraphs.
  • Don't send one generic résumé to every Deloitte role.
  • Don't list anything you led unless you can walk an interviewer through it in technical detail.

Words from their postings

action verbs, quantified achievements, leadership, government and public services, mission, transformation, stakeholder management, tell your story.
