9 min · Reviewed 2026

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.
