Build this resumeFrequently asked questions
What is the difference between biodata and resume?+
A biodata adds personal details like date of birth and languages and is common for government and traditional jobs; a resume focuses on skills and achievements and is preferred by most private companies.
Should I add a photo to a job biodata?+
Only if the employer or application form asks. Many biodata formats include one, but it's not required otherwise.
Can I make a biodata with SahiResume?+
Yes — use a single-column template like Delhi Minimal, add your details, and write personal details in the summary or education section if the employer requires them.
