Make a biodata for a job
The form many employers here ask for by name, rather than a resume.
Plenty of employers and government applications in Nepal and India ask for a biodata, not a resume, and they mean something specific: personal particulars at the top, then qualifications and experience, then a declaration that the information is true, signed and dated. Sending a designed two column resume instead is a reliable way to be asked again. This produces the biodata format, properly laid out, with a declaration and signature line.
How to make a biodata for a job
- 1
Choose biodata
Particulars move to the top and the declaration is added at the end, which is what distinguishes this document from a resume.
- 2
Fill in particulars and qualifications
Date of birth, nationality, languages and address, then your qualifications with institutions, years and results.
- 3
Sign the declaration
Download the PDF, print it and sign, or add a signature digitally with the Sign PDF tool.
Why the requested format is not a detail
When an office asks for a biodata, the person receiving it has a checklist: particulars, qualifications, declaration, signature. A document that does not have those is incomplete before anyone considers whether you are any good.
Attaching your certificates
Merge the biodata and your scanned certificates into one PDF so nothing arrives separately.
Frequently asked questions
How is a biodata different from a resume?+
A resume sells the fit between you and one job, and personal details are kept to a minimum. A biodata is a factual record that begins with who you are and ends with a declaration you sign. Different documents, different purposes.
Does it need a signature?+
The declaration is the point of the document, so yes, it should be signed. Print and sign, or sign the PDF on your device.
Should I attach certificates?+
If asked. Keep them as separate pages and merge them behind the biodata so the whole application is one file.
Is my information uploaded?+
No. It is all kept in your browser.
