European CV template
The European template follows the classic Europass CV layout: labels on the left («Dates», «Name of employer», «Qualification»…) and content on the right. You fill it in like any other template and download it ready to send, in English or Italian.
Free, no sign-up, no watermark. Download as PDF and Word.
Perfect for
- Public sector jobs and calls that ask for the «European format».
- Schools, universities and healthcare: teaching posts, research positions, grants.
- Applications in other EU countries and EU-funded projects.
How to make the most of it
Languages are described with the European levels, from A1 to C2: the template puts your mother tongue on a separate line and lists the other languages with their level. The line authorising the processing of personal data, common in Italy, is included at the bottom, and you can remove it in the «Design» tab.
