Bulgaria

A Bulgarian application usually contains:

  • a CV – the Europass CV format is recommended,
  • a short cover letter – employers usually ask for one,
  • references from previous employers,
  • documents on your education – translated into Bulgarian and authenticated.

Write in Bulgarian unless the ad says otherwise – most employers expect it.

Diplomas: a foreign diploma must be authenticated in the country that issued it and come with a legal Bulgarian translation – the same applies to professional licences. The Bulgarian ENIC-NARIC centre NACID recognises foreign higher-education degrees and keeps the list of regulated professions in Bulgaria.
