Built for English resumes in Thailand

A photo where Thai recruiters look for it

Many templates have a photo spot at the top of the page. Add a recent, professional headshot, or leave it out for employers and countries that do not expect one.

Import the resume you already have

Drop in a PDF or Word copy of your current resume and CVFalcon reads it into the form for you to review. You fix and update instead of typing every job again.

Readable by job boards, ready for abroad

Templates keep your words as real, selectable text, not pictures of text, so job boards and applicant tracking systems can parse them. Pages are A4 by default, and US Letter is one switch away for the US and Canada.

What employers in Thailand expect on a resume

01

Most Thai resumes carry a photo

A photo is the norm on Thai resumes, and some job ads ask for one, especially for customer-facing roles in sales, service and front-desk work. Use a recent headshot in clothes that suit the role, against a plain, light background, on the first page. For banks and schools, formal dress is the safe choice.

02

English or Thai: follow the job ad

Apply in English to international companies, multinationals and any job ad written in English, where your resume doubles as a first sample of your English. Many Thai companies and government agencies work in Thai, so check the ad and send a Thai resume when it asks for one.

03

Keep personal details short

Older Thai formats list age, date of birth, marital status, height, weight, religion and, for men, military status. Thai job boards now advise leaving out religion, height and weight and keeping only what the job needs; the employer's application form usually asks for the rest.

04

Your legal name and a professional email

Put your full first name and surname at the top, spelled as in your passport, and save your nickname for the interview. Use an email address made from your name, not a student address, your current work email or an old nickname account.

05

Write years in the Western calendar

Thai documents usually give years in the Buddhist Era, but an English resume should use Western years. Subtract 543 from the Buddhist year, so a degree finished in 2566 becomes 2023, and use the same date format throughout.

06

Add your TOEIC or IELTS score

Many state enterprises, some government agencies and some private companies set a minimum TOEIC score, and airline, hotel and tourism employers value English test results. List your latest score and the year you took it under Certifications; employers usually want results no more than two years old.

Thailand resume questions

Resume or CV in Thailand?

Thai employers use the two words for the same document, and resume is the more common one. Keep it to one or two pages; a longer CV is mainly for academic and research posts.

Should I put a photo on my resume?

Usually yes. A photo is the norm in Thailand, and some job ads ask for one. Use a recent headshot on a plain, light background. Leave it off for employers in the US, Canada and the UK. The photo in CVFalcon is optional and downloads are unlimited, so you can save one copy with it and one without.

Should my resume be in English or Thai?

It depends on the employer. Use English for international companies, multinationals, jobs abroad and any ad written in English. Many Thai companies and government agencies work in Thai, and some ads say which language they want. CVFalcon does not offer Thai section headings, so use it for your English version.

How many pages should my resume be?

One or two A4 pages. Fresh graduates should aim for one, led by education, internships and university activities. Experienced candidates rarely need more than two: give recent jobs the most detail and shorten early ones.

Should I put my expected salary on my resume?

Usually not. Thai employers tend to ask for it on their application form or at the interview. If a job ad asks you to state it, give a range and add 'negotiable'.

Can I use the same resume for jobs abroad?

Yes, with a few changes. Keep it in English and follow each country's habits: add your nationality in the optional field for Gulf employers, and leave off the photo and nationality for the US, Canada and the UK. Choose US Letter as the paper size for the US and Canada.

How much does CVFalcon cost?

Nothing while you write: every template, the live preview and resume import are free, with no sign-up. The PDF download needs the CVFalcon Pass, a single $9 payment in US dollars that covers unlimited downloads, with no subscription.
