        \n

        – Name and Surname\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        – Address<\/span><\/p>\n

        – Phone number<\/span><\/p>\n

        – Email\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Profile<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          – Write a brief paragraph to introduce yourself and your project. The recruiter must understand why you are applying.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Professional experience<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            – Write down all your professional experiences, the places you have worked, the dates, and then add a few words about how your work has contributed to the development of the company\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Education and qualifications<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              – List all your degrees, certifications and levels of education in this section\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                \n
              1. Skills<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                – List all your professional, personal, language, computer, writing skills, etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                  \n
                1. Miscellaneous \/ Other Information<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                  – In this section you must fill in all relevant additional information\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                    \n
                  1. References<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                    – Write here your references and recommendations<\/span><\/p>\n

                     <\/p>\n

                    First and foremost, it is important to understand that there are major differences when writing your CV in French and in English. For example, unlike the French CV, you do not have to fill in your personal information on your English CV. Your date of birth and marital status should not appear in the personal information section.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                     <\/p>\n

                    Indeed, these are just details, but they will prove that you know how to master and adapt to the English-speaking world. To increase your chances of getting your CV right before sending it to a company, have it checked by someone who speaks English fluently, and even better, by someone who has lived and had work experience in an English-speaking country.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                     <\/p>\n
