Personal skills and

competences

This page is dedicated to skills and competences acquired in the course of life and career but not necessarily

covered by formal certificates and diplomas. In other words, it aims to give a complete picture of your skills and

competences. The headings below (languages, social, organisational, technical, computer-related, artistic and other

skills and competences) allow you describe skills and competences acquired both in the course of your education

and training (during your studies) during seminars or continuing training sessions, and in a non-formal manner (in

the course of your occupational or leisure activities).

General note: Delete any heading under which you have nothing relevant to say, using the `cut' command menu in

your word processing software.

Instructions for using the self-assessment grid

The self-assessment grid is based on the six level scale of the common European framework of reference for

languages developed by the Council of Europe.

The grid consists of three broad levels as follows:

-  Basic user (levels A1 and A2);

-  Independent user (levels B1 and B2);

-  Proficient user (levels C1 and C2).

To self-assess your foreign language level, read the descriptions below and write the relevant level (e.g. Proficient

user - C2) in the adequate box of your CV (Listening, Reading, Spoken interaction, Spoken production and Writing).
