The right resume for every country.

The right resume for the right country is what turns applications into offers.

Three steps. No sign-up.

The whole site is one page; everything you need is right below.

  1. 1

    Pick your target country

    Each country card loads its real conventions: length, photo rules, personal details, date formats and the mistakes that get resumes binned.

  2. 2

    Fill in your details once

    The form adapts to the country: Germany asks for a photo and birth date, the US hides both. Your data autosaves in your browser as you type.

  3. 3

    Download a print-ready PDF

    A live A4 preview updates as you type. One click opens your browser's PDF dialog. Save it and apply.

Where are you applying?

Every country below has been researched against 2026 hiring guidance. Switch anytime; your details carry over.

United States: the Resume

The US resume is a lean marketing document filtered by ATS software before a human sees it. Single column, standard headings, achievement bullets with numbers.

Length
1 page (2 pages fine with 5+ yrs experience)
Photo
Never; most employers reject resumes with photos
Personal details
None. No date of birth, nationality or marital status
Dates
Mar 2020 – Present
Language
US English (color, organization)
ATS
Critical: mirror keywords from the job posting

âś“ Do

  • Reverse-chronological order, most recent first
  • Quantify achievements ("cut downtime 23%", "led team of 6")
  • Use exact skill and tool names from the job posting
  • Single-column layout with standard section headings
  • Short summary (2–3 lines) targeted at the role

âś• Don't

  • Photo, age, gender, marital status or nationality
  • Tables, graphics, columns or fancy fonts (ATS parsers choke)
  • First-person pronouns ("I managed" → "Managed")
  • "References available upon request" (it's implied)
  • Unexplained buzzwords with no evidence

đź’ˇ US anti-discrimination law makes employers discard resumes revealing protected characteristics. Anything personal beyond name and contact actively hurts you.

Why this exists

GlobeResume is a small, independent product. Here is exactly what it does and does not do.

10 countries, 4 real formats

Not one template with the country name swapped. An ATS resume, a tabular Lebenslauf with photo and signature, a Gulf CV with a visa line, and a Japanese rirekisho are genuinely different documents, and each is built to its own rules.

Your resume never leaves your device

There is no server to send it to. The builder runs entirely in your browser and saves to your own local storage. No account, no upload, no copy of your data anywhere. Read the privacy policy.

Pay once, or never

The builder and PDF export are free forever. If you want watermark-free downloads and editable Word files, that is a single payment of $4.99 or $9.99. No subscription, no card stored, nothing to cancel.

No fake reviews here

GlobeResume launched in July 2026, so there are no testimonials on this page yet. When real users send feedback and agree to be quoted, it will appear here with their names. Until then, judge it by using it: it costs nothing to try.

Questions, answered

Why does the country matter so much?

Because conventions are opposites. A photo is expected on a German Lebenslauf and gets your resume auto-rejected in the US. Australia wants 2–3 pages; France wants one. Japan wants a standardized form with no achievements on it. Sending the wrong format signals you don't know the market, often before anyone reads a word.

Is my data uploaded anywhere?

No. GlobeResume runs entirely in your browser. Your details and photo are saved to your browser's local storage on your own device and never sent to a server. Clear them anytime with the “Clear all” button.

How do I get the PDF?

Click “Download PDF”. Your browser's print dialog opens; choose “Save as PDF” as the destination. The output is a clean A4 document with none of the website around it.

Will these pass ATS screening?

The US, Canada, UK, Australia, India and Gulf templates are single-column with standard headings and no graphics, exactly what ATS parsers want. Where a photo is included (Germany, Gulf), it's because human recruiters in those markets expect it.

What about Japan's second document?

Japan uses two documents: the standardized rirekisho (which this builder generates) and a free-format shokumukeirekisho for your achievements. A shokumukeirekisho generator is on the Pro roadmap.

Can I change the colours and fonts?

Yes. Pick an accent colour (including plain black & white) and one of three font styles in the builder. The options are deliberately curated so every combination stays recruiter-safe and ATS-parsable: colour and type change, the single-column layout never does. Japan is the exception: the rirekisho is a standardized form, so its design is fixed.

Is it really free right now?

The builder itself is free to use, with a live preview and all designs. Free PDF downloads carry a light “GlobeResume” watermark. To remove it, the $4.99 Job Hunt Pack gives you 4 watermark-free downloads across any countries, and the $9.99 Unlimited plan gives unlimited watermark-free downloads. Both are one-time payments, no subscription.

Can I download in Word format?

Yes, on the paid plans. The Job Hunt Pack and Unlimited plans include a “Word” button that saves a real .docx file you can open and edit in Microsoft Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice. The PDF preserves the exact layout you see in the preview; the Word version is deliberately simplified so it stays easy to edit and uploads cleanly to job portals that ask for Word files. The free plan downloads as PDF.
