There is no standardized Chinese resume yet.

Chinese resumes don't have a fixed format like English resumes. Common Chinese resumes in society are mostly evolved from "resumes". Although the times are constantly changing, resumes still follow the characteristics of resumes, such as personal information as rich as the "national census form".

Although the column of work experience can accommodate a lot of pen and ink and space, it is not as detailed as filling in personal information, either a long description that is flashy or a few dry short sentences. Some even write their resumes as applications for joining the Party or autobiographies, with strong emotional elements and subjective colors.

Such resumes are generally accepted and recognized by the hiring managers of state-owned enterprises, but if you apply for a foreign company with a non-professional Chinese resume, you may encounter two embarrassing situations: First, although the recruitment company invites you to submit your resume in both Chinese and English, the recruiter who screened your resume is from China, so your Chinese resume will be the main screening basis.

The recruiter from China may understand your "Chinese style" emotionally, but tell him rationally that your Chinese resume does not meet the professional standards.

Second, some foreign companies even require you to submit your resume in Chinese, without the constraint of "Chinese and English resumes need to be consistent". When writing a Chinese resume, you will probably take it for granted that you can use whatever format you like and whatever format is pleasing to the eye. But these Chinese resumes, which make you look pleasing to the eye and can't be put down, are typically not pleasing to the eye and don't like in the eyes of foreign recruiters with professional vision.
