CV & resume standards in Singapore

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

Photo on the CV? Never — including one can disqualify you

MOM Fair Consideration Framework / TAFEP guidance: no photo, age, marital status, race, or religion.

Personal data conventions

Job-relevant information only, per TAFEP fair-hiring guidelines.

Market conventions

• • Most Westernized format in Asia; achievements + metrics valued
• • Expected salary sometimes requested in postings

Check your resume against these standards

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