How can an international student make a resume?

Step one to making a resume as an international student is to do your homework. For example, it's standard to include a photo on your resume in some countries.

However, in other countries like the U.S., this is formed upon. We recommend finding examples online to help guide you and networking with professionals in the country you are applying for to better understand the specific nuances.

You will need to include specific things in an international resume and an order or format that you need to follow. Employers expect to find certain information in certain spots, and they don't want to have to search for anything in a resume.

What to include on your resume if you're an international student applying for a job in the U.S.

• Contact Info - Include your name, mailing address, telephone numbers (home and mobile), email address, etc.

• Objective - This tells the employer what you are looking for, but it is not mandatory as it can be included in your cover letter.

• Skills Profile - Highlight your best three to five qualifications that make you a good candidate for the job.

• Education - Talk about honors and awards you have received.

• Experience - Discuss all job experience, both paid and unpaid.

• Extra-Curricular Activities - List any school activities (high school and college), club memberships, leadership roles, etc.

• Awards and Professional Memberships - This is the section where you discuss any awards you have won and all of your professional memberships, including your role and duties.

• Interests - Tell employers what you are interested in, such as sports, entertainment, etc.

• References - Do not list references on your resume. Instead, add "References available upon request," and be prepared to show them during your interview.
