US Resume FAQ

What format should a US resume be in?

US resumes use Letter size (8.5 × 11 inches), reverse chronological order, 1 page for early/mid-career (2 pages for executives), no photo, no personal details like age or marital status. Our templates handle all of this automatically.

How do I make my resume ATS-friendly for US jobs?

Use a clean, single-column layout. Avoid graphics, tables, and headers/footers. Include keywords from the job description. Use standard section headings (Experience, Education, Skills). Our ATS Score Checker validates your resume against major US ATS systems like Workday and Greenhouse.

Do US employers require a one-page resume?

For most roles with under 10 years of experience, a one-page resume is strongly preferred. Senior executives, academics, and federal jobs may use 2+ pages. Our AI helps you prioritize the most impactful content to fit one page.

Should I include a photo on my US resume?

No. US resumes should never include a photo. This differs from many other countries. Including a photo can actually hurt your chances due to anti-discrimination practices. Our US templates are designed without photo sections.
