Iceland - format cv | Yes, photos in CVs are very common. Choose the photo well: it should be of you alone and with nothing in the background. Photos from the beach or last weekend’s party are not a good idea. | Not at all: handwritten covering letters are generally considered unprofessional. | Europass-type formats tend to be long and very detailed. It is more important that the CV is short and clear, no more than two pages. |
