English resumes usually do not reflect some personal privacy information, such as: date of birth, gender, marital status, salary and so on. This is because American companies cannot discriminate against candidates based on age, gender or race. If this happens, the business owner will be sued by the candidate. Domestic resumes are required to indicate this information, and some even fill in height, weight and expected salary. If such personal privacy appears in an English resume, the employer will think that you don't understand American culture.

2. Length and format

English resumes are generally short, and one page is the standard length. Of course, if your personal experience is very rich, it is not impossible to exceed one page, but for students who have just left campus, one page is often the best length. Chinese resumes can often be made into two pages. You can compare the formats of these two resumes, and you can see that English resumes attach great importance to experience, while Chinese resumes attach more importance to academic qualifications.

3. Education and experience list order

When applying for a job in the United States, if you are employed, the experience in your resume should be written before your education, while for students, your education should be written before your experience. English resumes are generally listed in flashback, with recent education and work experience at the forefront, and schools or internship units are capitalized in bold, which is convenient for recruiters to quickly identify your education and experience. If the examinee is studying, it is better to start with the examinee, which is more rigorous. Time can be listed on the left or right, such as 2007 to the present.
