What is the Europass CV?

Europass is a part of the European Union's initiative on transparency of qualifications and mobility of citizens. It aims to provide a standardised presentation of identity, qualifications and skills for EU citizens and long-term residents. The initiative covers member states, candidate countries and EFTA partners. 

The Europass resume can be used not only in Europe but also beyond its borders, facilitating employment opportunities, educational programmes and volunteering. This format is becoming an effective tool for finding new career paths and educational expansion, providing an equally clear context for employers and organisations regardless of their location. Т

This way, Europass opens doors for citizens to a world of opportunities and achievements, helping them to take the next step in their professional and personal development.

How to create an Europass CV?

The beginning of your professional journey begins with creating a profile on the website, where you will post information about your education, work experience and skills. After completing your profile on the portal, you will be able to create or edit your CV in a few steps. Choose the data, stylish design and trust the CV builder.

Don't forget that you can create and upload your CV in 30 languages. Moreover, you can save it to your Europass profile to easily send it to employers, employment services or other platforms that help you find a job.

Remember that your CV should be easy to read, concise and relevant to the job requirements. It is a key document that should impress the employer and show your potential and professional abilities.

What is the structure of an Europass CV?

An Europass CV may look similar to a regular CV, but it has its own peculiarities that may prove to be important in your job search. This format allows you to standardise your data and make it more accessible to employers in Europe and beyond.

Starting with your personal information, you have the option to provide your contact details and also include links to your social media profiles or professional websites. This will help employers get a more complete picture of you.

In the work experience section, focus on the aspects of your career that are most relevant to the requirements of a particular job. Do not forget about achievements that can prove your competence.

The educational section allows you to describe your qualifications and skills in detail. It is important to include information that may be of interest to a potential employer.

The skills section is your chance to demonstrate a wide range of skills and knowledge. Excellent hard and soft skills, as well as foreign language skills, can be strong arguments in your favour.

In addition to the main sections, you have the opportunity to add supporting documents, a professional photo or other additional materials that will highlight your qualifications and work experience.
