What is the curriculum vitae or resume format used in the UAE?... In latinamerica we have a different style from northamerica, so I dont know how to write mine....
thanks...

I receive CVs every day in my office. I don't care what format is used. Just make it coherrent, clear and without spelling errors or typos.

That's a good question indi. One of the job websites was offering a resume making service in UAE format, but I didn't want to pay money to find out what exactly that was. Can anyone tell us some of the major differences between the contents of a UAE style CV/resume and some other styles of CVs/resumes?

K, I've never heard of anyone in Canada including their picture on a resume, unless your in promotions or entertainment, here it seems to be common as does nationality.

I even see a lot of resumes stating their military service and if they are exempt.

Yes Fayz, the military issue is typical in Italy and in all countries where serving in army is mandatory.
It is made for two reasons: first when you're between 18 and 26 yo to ensure your employer that he will not loose you (and mandatory pay you) for one year, after 26 to state that you did it or if you didin't it was for good reasons, because companies somehow involved with the Government are not allowed to hire someone refused for strange reasons (some sicknesses, mental problems, dishonour in leaving the army, etc.)
It could be considered not democratic or unlawful but this is done to avoid all the funky excuses young guys take to avoid army (mental sickness, fake homosexuality, fake depression, paranoid, etc.)

Btw, I have it in my Italian cv and I took it off from the English one...
