CV & resume standards in Egypt

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

Photo on the CV? Common — most applicants include one

A professional photo is customary and improves chances per Arabic-language career sources; a minority advise omitting when not requested.

Personal data conventions

DOB, nationality, marital status commonly included; military-service status for men.

Market conventions

• • Formal layout
• • English CVs standard in multinationals, Arabic for domestic/public roles
