Philippines resume format: example and tips
In the Philippines both “resume” and “CV” are used. Local employers often ask for a photo and more personal details, while international employers and jobs abroad expect a shorter, international-style resume.

Local tips
- Licensed professionals: name your PRC licence, and give the number only if the employer asks.
- For jobs in the Gulf, add any GCC experience and your notice period.
- Keep the summary short and focused on the job you want.
- Character references are sometimes listed; offer them on request if space is short.
Is this format ATS-friendly?
Yes. Whatever the country, keep one column, real text and standard headings. Every CV made with Seerty is built this way, so you can follow local customs without confusing applicant tracking systems.
Customs change between employers and industries. When a job post asks for something specific, follow the job post.
