Keep to the structure of the template

The Europass curriculum vitae allows you to present your qualifications, skills and competences in a logical

order:

- personal information;

- description of your work experience;

- description of your education and training (which may appear before the heading `Work experience' for

users with limited work experience; to invert the order of the two headings, use the `copy/paste' command

in your word processing software);

- detailed inventory of your skills and competences, acquired in the course of your training, work and daily

life.

Notes:

- print your curriculum vitae on white paper;

- retain the suggested font and layout;

- avoid underlining or writing whole sentences in capitals or bold: it affects the readability of the document;

- do not split an entry under one heading over two pages (e.g. your list of training courses) to avoid this use the

`page break' command in your word processing software;

- the boxes containing the various headings should not appear when the document is printed.

Be clear and concise

Your profile must be appreciated by the potential employer after a few seconds' reading. In consequence:

- use short sentences;

- concentrate on the relevant aspects of your training and work experience;

- explain any breaks in your studies or career;

- remove any optional heading (e.g. if you have no `Artistic skills and competences' (see page 2 of the

template) or if you consider that such skills and competences do not bring added value to your application,

remove the whole entry using the `cut' command in your word processing software.
