Frequently asked questions

Is biodata still used for jobs in India?

Some traditional employers and government-style forms still say biodata. For most private jobs, a modern resume/CV PDF is preferred — you can convert biodata content into that format easily.

What should a job biodata include?

Personal details, education, experience or projects, skills, and references if asked. Keep it factual and easy to scan.
