FAQs
How long should my resume be?
1 page for entry-level (0-5 years), 2 pages for experienced professionals (5-15 years), max 3 pages for senior executives or academic CVs.
What format should I use?
PDF is recommended for most applications as it preserves formatting. Some systems require Word (.docx) format. Always follow application instructions.
What is ATS-friendly formatting?
ATS (Applicant Tracking System) friendly resumes use standard fonts, clear headings, and avoid complex formatting that automated systems can't read.
Should I include a photo on my resume?
US/UK/Canada: No (illegal for employers to require, may introduce bias). Europe/Asia/Latin America: Often expected. Check country norms. If including: professional headshot, business attire, neutral background, recent photo. When in doubt for US jobs, leave it off - focuses attention on qualifications, not appearance.
How far back should my work history go?
General rule: 10-15 years maximum. Exception: Relevant older experience or career highlights. Early career jobs can be listed briefly without details after 15 years. Recent graduates: include all relevant work, even part-time. For career changers: emphasize transferable skills from any period. Age discrimination is real - very old dates can work against you.
What should I never include on a resume?
Never include: age/date of birth, photo (US/UK/Canada), marital status, religion, SSN, references ("available upon request" wastes space), salary history, reasons for leaving jobs, personal pronouns (I, me, my), hobbies unless directly relevant, generic objectives ("seeking challenging position"), lies or exaggerations (easily verified). Focus on achievements and value you bring.
