Frequently Asked Questions

Should my US resume be one page or two pages?

For most professionals, US resumes should be one page. Only extend to two pages if you have 10+ years of highly relevant experience or are applying for senior executive positions. Our tool helps you create an effective one-page resume from your LinkedIn profile.

Do I need an objective or summary on my US resume?

Modern US resumes use a professional summary (2-3 lines) instead of an objective statement. The summary should highlight your value proposition and key achievements. We automatically create a compelling summary from your LinkedIn headline and about section.

Should I include my photo on a US resume?

No. US resumes should never include photos due to EEOC anti-discrimination guidelines. Including a photo can lead to your resume being rejected. Our US resume format excludes photos automatically to comply with American hiring practices.

What's the difference between a resume and a CV in the US?

In the US, a resume is a 1-2 page summary for business jobs, while a CV is a comprehensive academic document. For most jobs, you need a resume, not a CV. Our tool creates US-style resumes, which is what 95% of American employers expect.

How far back should my work history go on a US resume?

US resumes typically show the last 10-15 years of work experience. Older positions can be summarized in an "Early Career" section or omitted entirely. This keeps your resume focused on recent, relevant achievements.
