In the USA, recruiters often use applicant tracking systems (ATS) that may filter out older resumes. In Brazil, a dated resume (currículo desatualizado) can significantly reduce employment prospects, particularly in competitive sectors like technology and finance. The practice of regularly updating one's resume is considered professional best practice in both cultures.
