Job Seekers: Master Formal Regulations for Application Documents

Job seekers often overlook the importance of formal regulations in application documents. These guidelines, including a well-structured resume, cover letter with personal and company contact details, and work certificates, are crucial for making a strong first impression.

In 2025, special design guidelines for résumés were introduced to align with updated corporate design standards. These guidelines aim to enhance clarity, usability, and aesthetic appeal in professional presentations, reflecting evolving expectations and practices in document design.

HR professionals initially focus on the outer appearance of application documents. A clear structure, uniform design, and reverse chronological format in the resume, along with matching documents optically and formally, can significantly improve the overall impression of an application. Formal errors can negatively impact this impression, underscoring the importance of diligence and professionalism in observing these formalities.

An application photo or video, and a cover sheet, may optionally be included. However, personal contact information and a signature with date should always be present in the resume.

Adhering to formal regulations in application documents is vital for job seekers. It demonstrates professionalism, attention to detail, and a commitment to making a strong first impression. By ensuring a well-structured resume, a cover letter with necessary contact details, and matching documents, applicants can significantly improve their chances of success.
