Applying for American job

(Anonymous) 2016-02-20 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
The online application requests a resume. I have a CV (standard for my country) but I'm worried that a standard American resume is different? What are they asking for, FS?

American resumes typically don't include a photo. Other than that I don't think they're that different.

Nor do standard ones in the UK, for the record. We always found it quite unusual to receive one with a photograph.

North American resumes may not have a cover letter, photo, or personal references included. Usually it's just a list of qualifications, past experience, skills, education, publications, etc.

Specific jobs or positions tend to ask for the personal references, personal statements, photos, or other qualifiers after they have seen the list of qualifications, or if they include it on an application.

That's about it, really.

Resumes are shorter. It's the kind of thing where you distill your qualifications and experience down to one, maybe two pages. For example, my long CV has just about every project I've ever worked on that's worth mentioning, every report and article I've ever written, my employment history with explanations of wgat I did for each job, and a lot other details. My resume just lists my education, special training/licenses, employment history, and a few select recent projects without much explanatory detail. That's how it works in my field, at least.

(Also, I've handled a lot of resumes/CVs for our seasonal hires and the only one that ever had a photo was someone from outside of North America. Definitely do not include a photo unless it's a job in something like modeling or acting. It will look really weird.)
