CV & resume standards in Colombia

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

Photo on the CV? Optional — either is accepted

Traditional in banking/formal sectors; optional in tech/startups.

Personal data conventions

Traditional formats carry personal data; modern guidance drops ID, marital status, age.

Market conventions

• • Called 'hoja de vida' locally
• • Public-sector roles may use standardized formats

Check your resume against these standards

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