How to write a Gulf CV with photo

Gulf employers expect a professional CV with a photo plus a few personal details Western CVs omit. Getting the format right signals you understand the market.

No sign-up · we never store your CV

✓ What to include

  • A professional headshot
  • Nationality
  • Visa / residency status
  • Date of birth (commonly expected)
  • A clear, designed layout
  • Languages spoken

✕ What to leave off

  • A bare US-style one-pager with no photo
  • Hiding your visa status (recruiters ask first)
  • Over-long, dense text — keep it scannable
