I'll be moving to Madrid January 4 (for the second time) and have put together a CV using the Europass format. It can be found here:

http://europass.cedefop.eu.int/europass/home/vernav/Eur...s+CV/navigate.action

Does anyone know if this is a recognized format in Spain? Is anything left out that would normally be on a Spanish-style CV? And, perhaps this is a silly question, should my CV be in English when applying for English teaching positions? I'm assuming so.

Thanks!

Chad

hey Chad.

I had a look at the europass spanish sample and it looks odd to me. can't put my finger on it since it has been ages since i stopped using a c.v.

maybe someone else with more experience can pop in here and advise. i think a spaniard would be best suited to advise on a spanish c.v. but am sure there are also a lot of ex-pats here that also have a good grasp of what is required.

the spanish sample is HERE in .pdf format.

i do know that one important thing is missing from the top left hand corner, an id size photo of the person.

yes, in spain a photo (the size of a drivers license pic in u.s.a.) is required on a c.v. there has been a lot of controversy over this but as far as i know, emplyers still want it.

you can either print the c.v. with the phoyo file already in it or you can print the c.v. and then attach a photo to the upper left hand corner with a paperclip or staple.

i used to provide both the english and spanish version when applying for teaching positions but now that i think of it, not sure what is the norm.

The one we use when working on projects for the EU is this

Though googling for the link, I found the first link from Europass saying the format we use was outdated and they sugested using theirs, so I don't know anymore.


I hate quotations. Tell me what you know.
