You won't need a business card that says you're an intern because your goal is to get a real job. So why print something that's irrelevant? Anyone you'll be networking with that has an open job would just want your resume. You have a cell phone and can take down someone's contact info and offer to send your resume or have them keep you advised of any future openings.
A strong point, I was already wavering and this helped convince me.
Thank you for typing it out, it saved me $10.
On your resume:
Your objective doesn't read smoothly - "enhancing the experience for the CPA exam" doesn't make sense.. You're gaining experience not enhancing it. Also the way your statement reads it sounds like you're going to enhance the companies experience for their CPA exam. This will need to be rephrased
Changed to "while gaining the required experience for the CPA exam"
You've capitalized a ton of things that don't need capitalization. "Personal Tax Return" "assisted Clients" "English SKills"
Took off the capitalization
Your second bullet point under account intern reads strangely. I don't know what should be paired, but it should either read "maintaining inventories and bank reconciliations", or if the bank reconciliations are a separate item you need a verb in front of bank.
I put "and" as it is indeed one item rather than separate items.
You're applying for a very detailed field, and those little things may cause people to think you do not have an eye for detail.
A completely fair point, thank you for pointing out those little details for me to correct.
Your formatting is great and I think you've highlighted your experiences well
Thank you, I checked out a large amount of format, but in the end for Accounting especially a simple eye drawing one proved best.
7 billion times better than last time.
Thanks, glad to hear I've improved.
When you get an Honours degree from a Canadian school, they will spell Honours in Canadian.
I actually didn't know it was spelled Honours in Canadian/British English, I have to admit to being surprised and it doesn't feel quite feel right.
Never the less I have changed it, although most spell checks didn't consider it a real word.
Still I have changed it and Analyze to Analyse
Business cards either come from an employer, or you design one if you're freelancing.
A fair point, I don't expect to freelance for a number of years so no reason to bother designing one now.
But excellent work adding people to LinkedIn
Thank you.
In case I ever have a problem keeping it straight, I've created an excel spreadsheet listing

Wow! What contrast from last time! This resume looks legit. Nice use of color - not too much - not too little. I didn't read it word for word, but it's such a great improvement from last time.
Thanks for the compliments, they put a smile on my face which will last a while.
It's always nice to know that you've improved.
I really like the QR code on it. I might steal that for my resume.
Feel free to do so, I took it for the same reason.
I saw it on a resume I considered to be high quality and then created and input my own QR code.
I'd probably give it just a bit more space at the top of the page so that you make sure your name prints nicely and the edge spacing is uniform throughout the page.
Edited it, hopefully it looks a bit better than before.
I'm not huge on business cards unless you're going into business for yourself.
A fair point.
I'd give ya a shot out of college.
Thank you, I'm glad to know that it's at least starting to be effective.
I consider that a glowing compliment coming from a more senior mustachian.
I disagree on the qr code - very few people have the software on their phone.
That's the first time I've heard that specific reason.
Do people spend a lot of time looking at resume's on their phones?
It is ok for a junior person but not someone who is expected to have a better understanding of the mores.
Honestly I've asked about QR codes before and people have been very divisive over it.
But from what I've asked it generates more positive emotions then negatives.
Most simply don't care about the QR code and skip over it unless directly asked, and even then have no strong opinion.
There have even been a few that dislike the QR code and feel it's unprofessional.
But I've also had a few who have told me that they quite like the QR code and feel it tells them quite a bit about myself and how in touch I am with technology.
Some have even added it could easily make the difference between wanting to interview me and discarding me.
So I decided it made more of a positive than a negative and left it there.
But if more people express negative responses then positives, I'll make sure to get rid of it.
Thank you for taking the time to give me your opinion, and hopefully you can at least understand why I'm choosing to not follow your QR advice for the moment.
Resumes are highly location and industry specific, but I would definitely have multiple formats. Pdf is safe. Some employers really hate docs. Make sure you have a plain text version for web forms that ask you to copy paste.
Glad to hear it, PDF is my favorite as well so I'll stick to using it primarily and swap to DOCX at either request or when I think it will go through ATS systems.
Thank you for the plain text version advise.
I just created one, we'll see how it holds up when I'm putting it through online forms.
If I did it well I'll certainly save some time.
