UK
Resume Master for applicants in the UK
A UK CV is two pages on A4, written in British English, with no photo and no personal details beyond a town, a phone number and an email. Recruiters read the profile and the most recent role first, and they expect the job titles the UK uses: Staff Nurse, Solicitor, Customer Service Advisor. These CV examples are written that way from the first line, and the editor keeps them that way when it tailors one to a vacancy.

What a UK CV gets right
A4 paper, British English, dates as DD/MM/YYYY, no photo. These are the conventions the editor follows for the UK, and all it changes: no translation, no separate templates, the same product priced the same everywhere.
- A4 paper
- Set the page to A4, 210 by 297 millimetres. A Letter-sized PDF prints with odd margins on A4 and reads as imported from the US.
- Two pages is normal
- Most UK CVs run to two pages. One page suits a first job; three is rare and only for senior roles with a lot to show.
- No photo, no date of birth
- UK employers do not expect a photo, a date of birth, marital status or nationality on a CV, and most prefer not to see them.
- Dates as DD/MM/YYYY
- Day first where a full date appears, and month and year for each role: "Mar 2022 – Present". Never the US month-first order.
- British English
- Organise, programme, centre, licence, specialise. A CV in American spelling reads as written for somewhere else.
- Town and postcode area, not a street address
- A line such as "Manchester, M4" is enough. A full postal address, and the US-style "City, ST 12345" line, are not expected.
