Common tips : 

​

1. Do not add a photo! Employers may reject your candidacy to avoid discrimination. 

2. Title of your resume document should be : ''name in English - Resume''. Example: "Anna Melnyk - Resume"

3. Your resume should be in a standard pdf or word format 

4. Make sure there are no gaps in your experience section. This is a common request we get from recruiters. If at some point you were unemployed, stayed at home, studied or other situation, please make sure you mention it.
