Hi all – I'm sorry if this is not the right place to post this but I am not sure where else would be better, and I'm hoping someone could give me some advice. Can't post in Japanlife because I don't live there, and everyone in moving to Japan is pretty rude/not helpful. I'm hoping since some of you are presumably business professionals you might be able to help with my query.
I'm preparing to apply to business schools in Japan, and I had a question about how to structure my CV. I previously worked in the USA in finance (now living abroad), and the advice for CVs in the USA generally is to keep it super simple, black and white, no pictures, try and keep it to one page etc. I've heard in Japan they generally want to see a picture with your resume (I'm in China and they do here too), so I'm wondering if I should have a picture? The application requests pictures separately so I'd prefer not to have one on my CV.
Also, is it fine if the CV exceeds one page? I have multiple entries in education as well as concurrent work experience which extends the length. Curious if anyone has applied to grad/business school here with any opinions. Obviously this is very important to me so I'm trying to make the best impression possible and hoping to get any insights possible.
Appreciate any insight. Thanks.
