CV & resume standards in Vietnam

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

What the document is called

CV (+ sơ yếu lý lịch)

Paper size: A4

Expected length

1–2 pages

Photo on the CV? Common — most applicants include one

Photo customary; the full application dossier (hồ sơ xin việc) conventionally includes ~4 passport photos.

Personal data conventions

DOB and personal data common.

Market conventions

  • • Formal employment requires the sơ yếu lý lịch — a notarized personal-history declaration — separate from the CV
