Resume and CV norms, country by country.
Every market reads a resume differently: whether it is even called a resume, whether a photograph belongs on it, how long it runs, which spelling, and what an employer will ask about your right to work. Each page below is what changes when a resume written for Indian recruiters has to work there instead.
