  3. 3. Build a India-ready CV

    In India it's the CV / résumé (a 'biodata' in some traditional sectors), usually flexible, photo optional, references list. Contact details (with +91 and city/state) belong in the body, not headers, which tracking systems often skip. Pay is quoted in the Indian rupee (INR, ₹).
