CV & resume standards in Hong Kong

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

Photo on the CV? Optional — either is accepted

Not required for most roles — content and formatting matter more.

Personal data conventions

Minimal; expected salary and notice period are commonly stated when requested, unlike Western norms.

Market conventions

• • Reverse-chronological, concise; English standard
• • Current/expected salary questions are routine in applications

Check your resume against these standards

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