New York Resume Formatting Rules
What New York recruiters actually expect - different from global defaults in several key ways.
Photo policy
Do NOT include a photo - standard practice in United States to avoid unconscious bias. Omit it even if your photo is professional.
Paper size & length
US Letter (8.5×11") · 1 page strictly for under 5 years experience; 2 pages for experienced professionals. Finance roles (banking/PE/VC) use a different format - a 1-page deal sheet is standard for laterals.
Personal details
Do not include any protected characteristics (DOB, nationality, marital status, photo). Include LinkedIn URL, GitHub (tech), and portfolio URL. City/state (New York, NY) is sufficient for location.
ATS systems used by New York employers
Wall Street firms (Goldman, JPMorgan, Blackstone) use Taleo or proprietary systems with strict keyword matching. Tech companies (Google NYC, Meta, Amazon) use Greenhouse with resume blind-screening rounds. Use STAR format (Situation, Task, Action, Result) for achievement bullets - this is the dominant resume writing convention in New York consulting and tech.

- How do I format a New York finance resume?
- Wall Street resumes follow a strict format: contact info, education (with GPA if over 3.5), experience in reverse-chronological order, and skills. No objective statement. Achievement bullets start with strong past-tense action verbs ("Executed $2.3B leveraged buyout...", "Structured and closed 14 CDO tranches..."). One page for analysts; senior professionals may use two.
- What is the difference between a New York finance resume and a tech resume?
- Finance resumes emphasise deal sizes, transaction types, and client names (where not confidential). Tech resumes lead with impact metrics (users, revenue, performance). Finance resumes are dense; tech resumes use more whitespace and bullet points. Finance resumes never include GitHub links; tech resumes always should.
- Should my New York resume be 1 or 2 pages?
- One page for under 5 years of experience - this is a hard rule in banking and consulting recruiting. Two pages for 10+ years of experience. For senior tech roles (Staff/Principal engineer), two pages are acceptable. Resume review at Goldman Sachs and McKinsey is under 30 seconds per CV - clarity over comprehensiveness.
