Frequently asked questions
- Should a UK expat CV include a photo?
- Generally no for UK private-sector roles — photos can introduce bias. Use photo layouts for markets that require them (e.g. Japan), not for standard UK applications.

Priorities for United Kingdom
Match the destination format
Switch country / regional layout (photo for JP/KR/CN norms, AU/UK one-pagers, US summary-first) so recruiters see local conventions — not a home-country template pasted as-is.
State work authorization clearly
Put visa status or citizenship near contact or in a short summary line when the market expects it (e.g. “Australian PR”, “Eligible for EP”, “US green card”). Avoid burying sponsorship needs in page two.
Normalize dates, education, and metrics
Use destination date order, spell out unfamiliar degree names, and convert achievements to local currency or global metrics recruiters understand.
