Hi,
I’m helping my mum write her CV for this retail job in Thailand (she’s Thai) and just from initial research, there seems to be a big difference between a Thai CV and UK CV (which I’m more familiar with as I’m a uni student there). However, there’s some conflicting information on what should be included and want to get some other perspectives.
​
* My mum had some retail experience for a few years before having me, but she has been a full time mother since, and now she is looking to get back into the workforce
* I saw this website wrote that picture, age, sex, marital status, height, weight, etc. is quite common to see on a Thai CV (this seems very weird to me from a UK perspective, but is this true?)
* If marital status is common, will writing that she is divorced be a detriment to the application? If it isn’t required I’d rather not write it
* If a picture is required, is a typical passport-type headshot the norm?
* Is a profile/summary common to have at the beginning of a CV?
* Is a cover letter necessary for many retail jobs?
​
Would very much appreciate responses/insights from your own experiences working in Thailand.
