Excerpted from the Austria Career Guide
Over the past decade, and particularly
since Austria’s entry into the European Union in 1995, Austrian résumés/CVs
increasingly follow general Western European standards. While certain regional
distinctions remain, they are of minor importance in so far as applications by
expatriates are concerned.Both the cover
letter and résumé/CV should indicate professional competence and basic
familiarity with Austrian protocol. The cover letter, addressed directly to the
contact person in the company, should be no longer than one page.
Due to the stringent work permit restrictions,
it is highly recommended that applicants mention if they possess an Austrian
work permit or are an EU citizen.
You’ll find specific examples of cover
letters and CV’s relevant to Austria in the complete Austria guide.
