CV & resume standards in Turkey

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

Photo on the CV? Common — most applicants include one

A recent professional photo at the top is common and often expected.

Personal data conventions

Nationality, marital status, and age commonly included, unlike most of Europe.

Market conventions

• • Reverse-chronological standard
• • Military-service status commonly listed for men

Check your resume against these standards

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