CV & resume standards in Indonesia

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

Photo on the CV? Common — most applicants include one

Photo still common practice (3×4 or 4×6); red/blue background conventional for formal/state (BUMN) applications, neutral for startups.

Personal data conventions

DOB, sometimes religion and marital status on traditional formats; startups/tech minimal.

Market conventions

• • Formal institutions (BUMN/government) keep traditional data-heavy formats; startup sector Westernized

Check your resume against these standards

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