They’re not different across regions, in my experience. I loathe the traditional black text and black bullets though. Made mine a bit more graphical (eg using company icons). Got quite some positive feedback and I also do recruitment myself for the firm

But it really depends if your experience is good or not. Sometimes you can consider adding interesting projects on a one page (like we do in consulting) if you are applying to a particular sub service line

I also have a photo on mine in black and white even though people say not to. But I look ‘decent’ in a suit so. Why not?

Absolutely. I’d put age if it makes sense. But nobody here wants to know about your private life. Save it for your interview if there’s a personal fit

Hi Fishes,

I've transferred my PF from Wipro to Cognizant where in it the Employee's PF shows around 83k but the Employer's PF shows only around 27k.

If the employee and employer have to contribute 12% then both should be equal to 83k isn't it?

Please advise where I am going wrong.
