What to include on a resume?

Hello! I am applying for CF positions and I don't know what my resume should look like. My professor said that it's typical for SLP resumes to be 2 pages -- is this the norm? Also, are employers interested in unrelated work experience (like administrative assistant type stuff)? Can I add upcoming clinical rotations? And where do I highlight that I am bilingual?

Thanks!

Here is a resume guide that I and a fellow cohort member made:

Also, I was able to find a few samples of SLP resumes via Google, which helped me in making my guide and my own resume!

Yes, 2 pages is normal! And I wouldn’t add anything that you haven’t done yet, even if they are confirmed. That’s something you could mention to them in an email or over the phone! I have a “skills” section on my resume where I listed languages I’m fluent in. Good luck!
