   :: Resume/CVs

Excerpted from the Sweden Career Guide


Because Sweden is a small but internationally-active country, you may submit your resume/CV in either Swedish or English. Tailor your CV to emphasize your qualifications for the position, and to give some sense of your own personality.

Your resume should be one to two pages long, depending on the length of your work experience. The major sections, education and work experience, should be in chronological order, ending with the most recent.

The standard components are:

· Name, date and place of birth, address, and contact information
· The position applied for-and your qualifications
· Education, starting with high school, and including study emphases, dates, diplomas, degrees, internships, study or travel abroad, honors, and extracurricular activities
· Your work history, with name and location of employers, your title and responsibilities. This is the most important section for an applicant who has been in the work force for a few years.
· Military and volunteer service (if applicable), knowledge of languages and computer programs, your civil status, and other personal information.
· References "Available on request."

Enclose your resume with a one-page cover letter in A4 format. If you wish, you may also include original documents (grades, and certificates), and a small photo. You should have your resume and any official documents "attested"-(verified and signed) by someone who can vouch for their validity.

This is just a sample of what you'll find in the complete guide.
