How to write a CV for employers in Uganda
NGOs, banks, telecoms and government bodies in Uganda shortlist carefully against the advert, and many applications now go through online job portals. A clear structure, results in each job and referees who answer the phone all count.
These are common practice, not rules. When an advert asks for something different, follow the advert.
- Length
- 1 to 2 pages for graduates, 2 to 3 pages for experienced professionals.
- Photo
- Common on Ugandan CVs: a recent passport-style photo, top right, plain background.
- Title
- Many Ugandan CVs are headed "Curriculum Vitae" above your name.
- Order
- Most recent first, for both work experience and education.
- Referees
- 2 to 3 professional referees with title and phone number. Employers often call them.
- Tailoring
- Use the keywords from the advert. Generic CVs rarely make the shortlist.

Many do. A recent, professional passport-style photo is common on Ugandan CVs. 22 of our templates have a photo space; the rest work without one.
