How to write a CV in English

CV Majster knowledge base

When you apply to international companies, you usually need a CV in English. Remember that it is not just a translation of your Polish document.

Standards can differ from country to country (for example the UK or the USA). An American resume does not include a photo or information about gender or age.

Focus on active vocabulary (action verbs) to describe your achievements.

Key tips:

  • Use standard headings such as Professional Summary, Work Experience and Skills.
  • Never add a photo to applications in the USA or the UK.
  • Translate your job titles into their international equivalents.
  • Have the language checked by a native speaker or a proofreading tool.
