Section 1
U.S. resumes are short and active
American resumes are usually one page. They list jobs in reverse order (newest first). They use short bullet points with action verbs. They do not include a photo, your age, or your marital status. Many countries use a different style called a CV. AI can rewrite a CV into a U.S. resume.
Strong action verbs
- Managed — led people or projects
- Built — created something new
- Increased — made a number bigger
- Trained — taught coworkers
- Reduced — made waste or cost smaller
Translating foreign job titles
Words to know
- resume — a one-page job document, U.S. style
- CV — a longer career document, common outside the U.S.
- credential — proof of a degree or license
- action verb — a strong verb that starts a bullet
- reverse chronological — newest job first
The big idea: AI flips your global story into the American format. Your real work stays the same.
