Danish CV: key differences for French candidates

FranskDansk · BAF

Keep the structure clear

Lead with the role you target, relevant experience and concrete achievements. Use concise descriptions and explain French qualifications when their Danish equivalent may not be obvious.

Adapt rather than translate

A literal translation of a French CV can feel dense. Prioritise the experience and skills that match the vacancy, use clear dates and add languages and work authorisation where relevant.

LinkedIn and references

Make sure LinkedIn is consistent with the CV. References may be requested later in the process; do not publish private referee details without permission.
