How to write a resume for the Philippines

  1. Keep it to one or two pages. One page for fresh graduates, two for experienced applicants.
  2. Start with a summary, not an objective. Two or three lines on your experience and the job you want.
  3. Photo: follow the job post. Some local employers still ask for a 2x2 photo. BPO and overseas employers usually don't want one. Add it only when the post asks.
  4. Personal details are optional. Age, civil status and religion are traditional on Filipino resumes but are not needed for most jobs. Leave them off unless asked.
  5. List licences and eligibility. PRC licence with number and validity, civil service eligibility, or TESDA National Certificates (NC II) belong near the top for jobs that need them.
  6. Show communication skills for BPO roles. Name your English level, accounts handled, and metrics such as CSAT or AHT.
