International Resume Writing
An Indian CV sent unchanged to an employer in Canada, Germany or Australia is usually rejected before a person reads it. Each country has its own conventions, and breaking them marks you as someone who has not prepared. We rewrite your resume to the standard of the country you are applying to.
What changes by country
| Country | Format | Include | Leave out |
|---|---|---|---|
| Canada | One to two pages, reverse chronological | Achievements with numbers, skills, a short profile | Photo, date of birth, marital status, father’s name, passport number |
| USA | One page for most roles | Results and keywords from the job advert | Photo and all personal details |
| UK and Ireland | Two pages | A personal statement, achievements | Photo, date of birth |
| Australia and New Zealand | Two to four pages | Detailed responsibilities and achievements, referees | Photo, date of birth |
| Germany | Tabular, one to two pages, with certificates attached | A professional photo, date of birth, signature and date, exact months for every period | Unexplained gaps |
| Gulf | Two pages | Photo, nationality, visa status, notice period |
What we do
- Rewrite duties as achievements. “Responsible for vendor payments” becomes “Cut vendor payment cycle from 45 days to 30 across 120 suppliers.”
- Match your occupation code. Your resume, experience letters and visa application should describe the same job.
- Pass screening software. Most large employers filter resumes automatically. We use a clean layout and the terms each advert uses.
- Explain Indian context. Company size, industry and qualifications, in terms a foreign recruiter understands.
- Write a cover letter template you can adapt.
What we need from you
Your current CV, two or three job adverts you would apply for, and thirty minutes to talk through what you achieved in each role.
