Hi,

I have just moved from the UK and now live in Madrid.

How should a CV be presented in Spain? I have been doing some reading and it seems they like a very short CV? e.g. 1 page?

My current English CV is 5 pages long (at the request of numerous agencies in London).

Also the Jobs I will apply for are going to be English speaking jobs, so should the CV be in English or Spanish?

Thanks

see the Spanish section.

Good Luck.

I’d say our page on how to write a Spanish CV is better of course. 😉

thanks. only piece on info missing is the ideal lenght? i guess this depends on your work history and type of job you are applying for.

would 5 pages be too long in spain?

I’ve received CVs that were 5 pages long but generally prefer CVs of 2 pages. I’m not Spanish though. 😉
