Country formats
One résumé, every market.
A US résumé, a German Lebenslauf, and a Japanese rirekisho follow different rules — photo or no photo, one page or two, which date format, even which spelling. Pick a market to see its conventions, then reform your résumé to fit in one click (we never fabricate the personal data a country merely expects).

Best-effort curation of common conventions, not legal advice. Re-check a market’s anti-discrimination rules before relying on them.
