Hiring conventions differ from country to country. These are the rules behind every example on this page, so a resume built from them reads correctly in the US, UK, Canada and Australia.
In the US and Canada a resume is a one-to-two page summary of your career. In the UK, Ireland and Australia the same document is called a CV; only academic CVs run longer. Use the word the posting uses and keep the length short either way.
Leave out your photo, date of birth, marital status and street address. Employers in these markets strip such details to stay clear of discrimination claims, and a photo block often breaks the way an ATS parses the page. City, phone, email and a LinkedIn URL are enough.
Recruiters scan for outcomes: "cut reporting time by 30%" lands, "responsible for reporting" does not. Start bullets with a past-tense action verb, keep each to one or two lines, and put a number in at least half of them.
Reuse the exact job title and tool names from the posting — keyword match is what moves you past the ATS shortlist. A two-line summary at the top telling the recruiter which role you are applying for does the rest.
Use these sections to turn your experience into a document recruiters can scan quickly.
