What is European convention for submitting a "CV" for a non-academic position?

I’m applying for a Python developer job in Europe, and on the job description asks for a “CV.” What does that mean?

  1. It’s just another word for a résumé. Format it like a résumé.
  2. Write it like an academic CV. Like this.
  3. Something else.

A CV is what Americans call a resume

Thanks. So it looks like this?

Yeah. Normal job application CV/Resume.

Highly depends on the country. In some countries you might want to include a picture - in others probably not.

Is it OK for the CV to span more than one page?

Sorry been a while.

Yes but no more than two, don’t make it wordy.

Had an applicant a few years ago, their contact information included their email address, which contained “iluvcheese”…

Hired.

Absolutely fine. Two pages tops though. No need for a photo, unless they request it (which is probably illegal under most EU laws) CV = Resume. I wouldn’t use a silly email address, personally.

Good luck.

So, no “OysterOmelet at domain name dot com”.
We want you to get the job.
Especially if it’s in Poland. :wink:
