  • A safe choice when applying to another EU country.

Who it suits

Applications in Spain, Italy, Portugal, Central and Eastern Europe, EU institutions and Erasmus placements.

Where it works best

You can use it anywhere, but it’s a particularly good fit for CVs aimed at:

If you pick a country where photos are discouraged, such as the United States or the United Kingdom, the editor leaves the photo out and shows your initials instead.

How it works

  1. Open the template and choose the country you’re applying in. Paper size and sections adjust automatically.
  2. Fill in the fields. The preview updates as you type.
  3. Try another colour or template if you like, then download your CV as a PDF.
