04 FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Where do I put visa status on a US resume?
Often in the application form first. On the PDF, a short line in the summary or header is enough (e.g. “US work authorized” or “Requires H-1B sponsorship”).

Priorities for United States

  • 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.

  • Localize titles and keywords

    Mirror the destination job board language (Seek vs MyCareersFuture vs 履歴書 section labels). Translate or dual-language only when the employer expects it.
