China Style Resume

In short, the resume is a China-style CV, which details the most recent job first and highlights the main aspects of your career. It is less structured, in a narrative style and more brief than a CV. It is also more subjective. If you are applying for international jobs, you may need to submit a Curriculum Vitae (CV) instead of a resume.
​
Generally, prepare both a Chinese and English versions of your resume only if you are fluent in both languages. If you are submitting an English resume only, it is helpful to duplicate in Chinese your name, contact address and company names (if you already have some local work experience), unless you are certain that the recipient of your resume is an English speaker.

Note: Delivered Resumes are in English only.

​Type your China resume on no more than two to three pages, depending on the length of your work experience. Usually resume is in reversed chronological order - detailing your most recent activities first.
Research the company thoroughly and tailor your resume to the job requirements.
  • Under "Personal Information" list your name, address with contact information, date of birth, gender, and number of years. 
  • Then using power words and action verbs briefly state your "Profile".
  • In "Education," detail schools attended with the most recent first. Include names, locations, degrees and dates of attendance. Follow this with a "Specialized Training", if applicable, listing extra courses, foreign language fluency skills with reference to the spoken and written levels and computer training.
  • The "Work Experience" section, should detail companies, they locations and focus, dates of employment and your job titles. Any gaps in work history should be explained. In some cases, the job seeker may include reasons for leaving a particular employer. Mention your responsibilities, starting with the most important and emphasize those related to the job you are seeking.
  • Include awards if you have any.
Making your resume more effective provide examples that fit the job, to illustrate your achievements. Use power words and action verbs to describe your achievements, such as organized, demonstrated, trained, managed, developed, coordinated etc. Bullet point these at the start of a sentence for maximum impact.
Carefully consider what to leave out of your resume and exclude anything that might give prospective employers a chance to discriminate against you. Discrimination laws are not as stringent in China as they are elsewhere in the world. It is not uncommon for employers in China to ask for specifics like gender, age, your photo, ID card number, expected salary etc. Many multinational corporations operating in the region adopts the same type of hiring practices, so carefully consider what to leave out of your resume.
  • At the end, simply state: "References available on request." It is best to avoid putting references on your resume unless you have been specifically asked to provide them. Employers usually ask for references when they actually need them. This is strong indication that an employer is interested in you.
It is more common in China to apply for a job through the Internet. However, you should be aware that an electronic resume does not look the same as a printed one. Recruiters often scan resumes, so make your resume scannable by avoiding for example lines or italic fonts etc.

Always include a cover letter with your resume, but never attach any official documents, like diplomas or testimonials to your application.
