resume question...

[eliteorange]

if you have an unusual name. on your resume, do you need to state that your nationality is US citizen ?
or does it even matter to the HR?

I'm not sure if you need/want to state that you are a US citizen on your resume.

However, it will very important to HR if you are or aren't a US citizen. Many companies will only hire US citizens or individuals who are authorized to work in the US. I don't think they just want to deal with having to get authorization for a potential employee.

You should do some research on the company you're interested in and see if they have any sort of policy on citizenship.

yeah i know about the citizenship policy for certain jobs...

im just wondering in general, if i have that US citizen on my resume will it be better in the eyes of the recruiter.

it wouldn't hurt.

see, if your name is osama bin laden, but you are a citizen, then i guess it's alright.

I got my resume reviewed by someone at my school's career center, and they advised me to do that.
