having seen quite a few resumes from all corners of north america (okay, not mexico yet) i can tell you there is no ‘usual’ in resumes. some have just very basic info- generally those of people looking for suggestions from people who knew of them before getting the resume. some have more info, but still just that. Some have a paragraph describing self, some describing what they’re looking for, and some both. some have these in point form of character traits instead of a paragraph. some people include pictures, some dont, and some include a picture for only the shadchan’s eyes. its true that the descriptions can help someone get a feel for you, and its also true that sometimes that picture can be completely wrong. its a personal choice
