I never realized that countries differed so much in what they expected in content, in format, and even in the cover letter (some expect you to hand write it!). This "Global" book is so detailed, and so packed full! Rating: 5 / 5 When they call this a “Resume and CV Guide,” they really mean it.

“THE GLOBAL RESUME AND CV GUIDE is the new bible for wanna-be globe trotters. This resource should be the starting point for international job seekers and will help give you the leg-up when looking for work abroad.

It covers almost every region in the world and explains the visa process, interview practices and job hunting tips. On this aspect it is an excellent book for the international job hunter. However, if you are looking for a lot of sample CV's, this won't be very helpful. The sample CV's included are limited to a few countries and are mostly geared for a new graduate or young professional (most CV's here are 1 page long, whereas overseas CV's are generally supposed to be at least 2 pages if you have any level of experience). There should have been at least one example for each country, but if you read the country details, you can figure out how to adjust the CV to fit that country.
