US career advice
US hiring runs on speed and evidence. The resume is one or two pages built around accomplishment bullets, most applications pass through an applicant tracking system before a person reads them, and the word is 'resume', not 'CV', unless you are in academia or medicine. These guides cover the conventions specific to the United States: the standard resume format, how to decide between one page and two, and what changes when you are applying from outside the country. For universal advice on structure, ATS and interviews, the global career advice library goes deeper. If you are relocating from abroad, start with the international job seekers guide.
