CV & resume standards in Brazil

This is the live market data our scanner applies when a resume targets Brazil — not an opinion piece. The local document is the Currículo; here is what employers there actually expect.

Photo on the CV? Discouraged — most advice says omit

Recruiters advise against; a growing number of firms refuse photo CVs (exception: appearance-based roles).

Personal data conventions

Age/marital/children traditional but fading; never CPF/RG numbers.

Market conventions

• • 'Objetivo' (target role) section is a strong convention
• • More expressive tone than Portugal

Check your resume against these standards

The free scan evaluates your resume against Brazil's norms automatically — photo expectations, personal-data conventions, length, and the keywords your industry expects.
