About CV and Biodata

CV and Biodata covers the longer documents that a one-page resume cannot replace: the full curriculum vitae used in teaching, research, medicine and senior careers; how CVs and resumes differ from country to country; and the biodata, both the traditional job biodata and the marriage biodata. It also has a biodata maker that prints one A4 page from your browser.

How it is written

Every guide, example line and sample is our own writing. Every person, family, institution, journal and paper in the samples is invented. We give no rules of any university, commission or regulator, because those are set and changed by the bodies themselves; each page tells you to use the institution's own current form and website.

Sources for the country pages

The pages on CVs and resumes by country state only what an official careers page said when we read it on 12 November 2026. Where the official page was silent on a point, our page says so. The pages read were:

• United Kingdom: National Careers Service (UK government), "How to write a CV", nationalcareers.service.gov.uk
• Canada: Job Bank (Government of Canada), "How to write a good resume", www.jobbank.gc.ca
• United States: CareerOneStop, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor, Resume Writing Guide ("Top section"), www.careeronestop.org
• Germany: Bundesagentur für Arbeit (German Federal Employment Agency), ZAV International Services, "Part 1 of the series on the application process in Germany: curriculum vitae", issue 01/2026, www.arbeitsagentur.de
• Europe (Europass): Europass, an official website of the European Union, "Create your Europass CV", europass.europa.eu
• Australia: Youth Central (Victorian Government, Australia), "How to write a resume", www.youthcentral.vic.gov.au

These are careers-advice pages, not laws, and employers differ. Rules about visas, work rights and recognition of qualifications are separate and are not covered.

Points of law mentioned

The pages on partner preference say that giving or taking dowry is prohibited in India under the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961. That is long-settled law; the Act is published on indiacode.nic.in.
