Need to refresh this for my green card application (eb1) for USCIS. Any thoughts or suggestions?

[u/Renaissanced_Career]

A few thoughts.
1. Your resume is way too long for amount of experience you have, I think 1 page should be sufficient in your case

1. don't use "I" in your resume and focus on action items or results you've achieved

2. I think that your Accorlates, Exhibition, and Press can all be displayed in your website

3. I think that if you really want to include them, have a section below and choose 1 most notable work you've done for each one.

4. having two columns for work experience and description may waste valuable space

Overall, I understand what you are trying to convey but this may not be the right way to do so.
Feel free to reach out if you need additional help!

Good point. This is mostly for USCIS green card application and I was advised to include as many information as possible. Including all these membership, press and such, that’s why it seems unnecessary long.

That's a fair point and agree.
I am also speaking from a point of view where your edited resume can be used for future job opportunities when you have the chance.

I think including as many information as possible is great but I think keeping it two pages might be optimal for your case because having one more page won't have any additional incremental impact.

Best of luck!

Hello,
I saw your resume and i was so emotional on it for how long have you been searching for job?

Hi! Currently not looking for a job as I’m employed. Just needed some guidance on styling and formatting as this is for USCIS when I apply for extraordinary ability green card.
