Tips to create your Europass CV

Make sure to reflect on your past experiences with questions such as: what skills did you gain? How do they relate to the job you are applying for? Explain your tasks and role in a clear and concise way. Don’t forget to mention volunteering experiences and traineeships. Always ask a friend or relative to check your CV for feedback.
