Germany - format cv | To enclose a photo with the CV is not compulsory. Nevertheless most employers like to have it in an application. | There’s no preference for handwritten CVs, unless clearly specified. |
The Europass CV is often used - besides other personal data sheets. In some cases or some professions, it is more beneficial to create an individual format, to set oneself apart from the other CVs. A collaboration between EURES Spain and the association of engineers of Zaragoza resulted, in just a few months, in job placements for more than 20 engineers in small- and medium-sized enterprises in Germany and the Nordic countries. We also provided support and practical information to those workers - and to the companies where they were engaged - in order to facilitate the transition.
