Guides
Resume guides
What employers in different countries usually expect on a resume, and where each point comes from.
Each guide is built from the sources it links to: government pages, employer guidance and job-board advice. A guide says what employers usually expect, not what you must do. It is guidance, not legal advice, and laws and practice change, so read the sources before you rely on a point.
