United States application strategy
Your Sri Lankan experience needs the right international context
US hiring is highly role-specific and usually resume-led for private-sector jobs. Sri Lankan applicants need a concise value proposition, recognisable job-function language and strong evidence of outcomes rather than long responsibility lists.
Use a resume without a photograph, age, marital status or other unnecessary personal details. Prioritise achievements, keywords, relevant technology and scope; academic or research applications may follow different CV conventions.
Quantified achievements
Exact role and skills alignment
Concise one-to-two-page presentation
