How it works

Three steps between you and a CV that recruiters in your target country understand instantly.

1

Pick your country

Choose where you're applying — from the US to Japan. Each country has its own rules about photos, personal details, length and tone. We know them all.

2

Share your story

Fill in a short form with your work history, education and goals. No writing skills needed — we handle the wording in the right style and language.

3

Receive your local CV

Get a polished, recruiter-ready PDF within 48 hours — plus a version you can edit yourself. Two rounds of revisions included.

The Country CV Guide: 12 mistakes that get you rejected abroad

Which countries require a photo, which ones reject you for one — and 10 more rules recruiters never tell you. Free PDF, no strings attached.

Our expertise

35 countries. 35 different rulebooks.

In the US your photo can get your CV rejected. In Germany, leaving it out raises eyebrows. In Japan there's a fixed form. We build yours per local convention — never just translated.

4 premium destinations — Japan, China, South Korea, Arabic (Gulf) — from $17.95

These markets use strict, format-specific documents: the Japanese rirekisho, the Chinese 简历, the Korean 이력서 and the right-to-left Arabic CV follow fixed rules that differ fundamentally from Western CVs — Japan and Korea even require two documents instead of one, and Arabic needs right-to-left typesetting with connected script. Writing them correctly takes specialist expertise, so these packages are priced accordingly.

Basic — Japan, China, Korea & Arabic

$17.95
  • Country-specific CV in Japanese, Chinese, Korean or Arabic

Questions

Frequently asked

Translation swaps words; rebuilding swaps conventions. We keep your experience, but restructure the document for your target country: length (one page in the US, two in Germany), photo or no photo, which personal details to include or leave out, date formats, section order and tone. That's why a rebuilt CV passes both recruiters and ATS systems locally.

Standard delivery is within 48 hours after we receive your information. In a hurry? Add the Express upgrade in the order form and you'll have your rebuilt CV within 24 hours.

We don't just translate — we rebuild. A direct translation keeps your home country's layout and style, which often fails abroad. We rewrite your content following your target country's conventions, in the local language when needed.

After ordering you receive a short intake form (about 10 minutes to fill in): work history, education, skills and your target country. Don't worry about wording — that's our job.

No problem — many customers apply in two countries at once (for example Netherlands and Germany, or US and Canada). Each additional country version is just $4.95 on top of any package.

Technically you can — but it costs you interviews. In the US, a photo or your date of birth can get your CV filtered out automatically. In Germany or Japan, leaving those out looks incomplete. Small details decide whether a recruiter reads on. Even the official EU Europass CV is only a baseline — recruiters in each country still expect their own local conventions.

Yes! Tick "This is a gift" in the order form and mention it in the message field — we'll send the intake form directly to the person you're gifting, and you can add a personal note we'll include in the delivery email.

Simple: if you're not satisfied with your CV — even after using your included free revisions — tell us within 7 days of delivery and we refund you in full. The revisions solve almost every issue; the guarantee covers the rest. Details in our terms.

After delivery you have 14 days to request up to two rounds of changes — different wording, reordered sections, corrected details. We turn revisions around within 24 hours.

Credit and debit cards, PayPal, iDEAL, Bancontact and more — securely processed by our payment provider. You pay right after ordering; as soon as payment is confirmed you receive the intake form by email.

Yes — tick them in the order form and they are automatically added to your package: one payment, one receipt. Already ordered? Simply reply to our confirmation email and we’ll add them afterwards.

Who we are

About MyLocalCV

MyLocalCV is a registered Dutch company with one speciality: CVs that work across borders. We started after seeing how many strong candidates get rejected abroad for the wrong reasons — a photo that doesn't belong, a missing signature, the wrong length. Not because of their experience, but because of local rules nobody told them about.

For every country we cover, our templates and conventions are checked with professionals who actually recruit or work in that market. Your CV is written by a real person and checked by a second pair of eyes — never generated, never a one-size-fits-all template.

Questions before you order? Email info@mylocalcv.com — you'll get a personal reply from the person who actually works on your CV.
