CV, application and job interview in European countries

The National Careers Service gives this advice for a UK CV:

• include your name, phone number, email address and, if you have one, a link to a professional profile such as LinkedIn,
• do not include your age, date of birth, marital status or nationality,
• do not put other people’s contact details on your CV – write “references available on request”.

The interview: read the job description carefully, research the company and prepare examples from your experience. For competency questions, use the STAR method (situation, task, action, result). For online interviews, test your computer and connection beforehand and be ready 5–10 minutes early. More interview tips.

Diplomas: UK ENIC, managed by Ecctis for the UK government, compares international qualifications with the UK system (Statement of Comparability). To check whether your profession is regulated and who the regulator is, use the Regulated Professions Register.
