Editorial Policy

GlobalResumeHub publishes a guide to resume and CV conventions for every country. This page sets out who is responsible for them, how they are researched and written, what the dates on them mean, how errors are corrected, and how the site's advertising is kept apart from its advice.

Who is responsible

GlobalResumeHub is owned and operated by Tenslor Inc. The guides are published under the name of Emem Ndon, the Lead AI Software Engineer at Tenslor Inc. and the author of record: the research standard below applies to every guide, and questions about their content go to the author through the contact page.

How a guide is researched and written

Guides draw on official government employment guidance, HR and professional associations, employment law, publicly available recruiting resources, and feedback from readers who live and work in the country. Each guide is written to one standard:

  • It names the country's real universities, employers, laws, licensing bodies and government hiring portals. A guide that says "the leading university" instead of naming it does not meet the standard.
  • It states specific, checkable facts: grading scales, page counts, quota percentages, named certifications.
  • Its answers open with the answer. A reader asking whether a photo is required gets "Yes" or "No" before the explanation.
  • No paragraph is reused between countries, including countries that share a language. Each guide reflects that country's own economy, institutions and hiring norms.
  • Where professionals write their CVs in the local language, the guide is written in that language, with an English version alongside.
  • Its length reflects how much there is to say about that market, not a target word count.

Use of AI tools

AI writing tools are used in drafting the guides. They do not decide what a guide says: the research standard above governs the content, the sources are the ones listed, and the responsibility for every published statement rests with the author. Where a guide is found to be wrong, it is corrected as described below, whatever produced the original wording.

Photo advice

Whether to include a photo is the question readers ask most, and the one most often answered wrongly elsewhere. In August 2026 the photo guidance on every guide was re-checked against primary sources, including the employment and anti-discrimination law of each country. The site now describes a photo as part of the document in one case only, Japan's rirekisho form, which has a photo box. Everywhere else it is described as expected or optional according to local practice, and never as required, because in several countries an employer may not lawfully demand one.

What the dates mean

The "Last updated" date on each guide is the date its text or underlying data last changed, taken automatically from the site's version history. It is not typed in and it does not advance unless something on that page actually changed. The same date is supplied to search engines in the site's structured data and sitemap.

Corrections

Hiring conventions change, and a reader who lives and works in a country will sometimes know better than the guide. Reports of errors go through the contact page. Every message is read. A confirmed error is corrected in the guide, and the correction updates that guide's date.

Advertising and independence

GlobalResumeHub is free to use and is funded by advertising. Advertisements are supplied by third-party ad networks and are placed apart from the guides' text. The site does not publish sponsored editorial content, and advertisers have no say in what the guides recommend.

Your data

The resume builder and the template downloads run entirely in your browser. Nothing you type is uploaded to GlobalResumeHub. Details are in the privacy policy.
