Resume template for Bangladesh: a CV for Dhaka employers

Henrietta prints education directly after the jobs, higher than most of the seven, which matters in Bangladesh where AIUB says education plays a critical role in hiring. Its plain black and grey business layout with a left-aligned name matches the simple, clean design both university career offices ask for.

Second choice: Leslie. Leslie keeps experience first and adds one touch of blue in a centred header, for a candidate whose degree is less central than their buyer accounts.

Henrietta template details and test results

Henrietta prints its sections in a fixed order, the same in the PDF and the Word file. Here is that order for this sample, and what to put in each section.

1. Professional Summary. AIUB separates the two openings: a career objective for fresh graduates, a summary of experience, skills and results for everyone else. ULAB's Career Services Office suggests three to five lines that use the title of the job you want, as the sample does with "senior merchandiser".
2. Work Experience. Newest first, and results rather than duties, as both offices ask. For export work that means pieces shipped, buyers handled, on-time shipment and costing wins. ULAB's formula fits each bullet: what you did, with which skill, and what came of it.
3. Education. Degree, institution, years and CGPA if it is notable, per AIUB. ULAB adds HSC or A level results for recent graduates and says school details matter less once you have work experience, so the sample stops at the bachelor's degree.
4. Skills. AIUB asks for a dedicated skills section and for English and Bangla with a level, since English is valued highly by multinationals and exporters. Henrietta shows each skill group as an unlabelled column, so keep the languages together in their own column.
5. Certifications. AIUB suggests a separate section for training and certificates that relate to the job. Henrietta prints it near the end, after skills; a course that the advertisement asks for belongs in the summary as well.
6. References. A references list. ULAB's sample CV names a professional referee such as a department head, lecturer or manager, with designation, company and email, and tells you not to print the referee's phone number or home address.

The same content as the files above, so you can copy a line or compare it with your own.

We exported this sample with Resumity's PDF exporter in Chrome on 2026-10-29 and read the file back with three open-source text extractors. This shows whether software that turns a PDF into text can recover it; it is not a test of any commercial applicant tracking system. How we test templates.
