Europass CV

The Europass CV is a standard résumé format that enables you to clearly present your skills and qualifications. With this document, you can create your personal information, work experience, education and training details, and personal skills in a structured format. Since this document format is the same across EU countries, it allows you to introduce yourself effectively to institutions, organizations, and employers, especially in international applications.

The Europass CV replaced the European CV, which was introduced in 2002.

Anyone who wishes to use Europass can start by completing the Europass CV.
