CV & resume standards in Philippines

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

Photo on the CV? Common — most applicants include one

A 2×2-inch formal headshot (plain background, business attire) is expected for local applications; omit for international employers.

Personal data conventions

Age, civil status, sometimes SSS/TIN on local applications.

Market conventions

• • US-influenced format but retains a personal-data section
• • 2–3 named character references with contact info expected

Check your resume against these standards

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