I know in Japan head shot and blood type are expected with a resume.


Headshot yes, blood type typically not. They do require to reveal a bit of other information including age, number of dependents, marital status, expected length of commute, etc.

Funniest aspect is that a lot of employers expect applicants to handwrite their resumes and some actually goes as far as rejecting non-handwritten resumes.


Blood type is weird but in Japanese cultural it's similar to adding your Myers-Briggs type.
