Preparing your CV for Austria
EURES describes applications in German unless another language is requested, commonly submitted online. Its guidance recommends a concise CV of one or two A4 pages and describes supporting qualifications, references and an application photo as parts of a conventional application bundle.
Check the complete application
Treat that conventional bundle as context, then check what the employer actually requests. A portal with separate CV and certificate fields should receive separate documents. Do not merge unrelated records into a large attachment by default.
A practical writing example
For a technician application, list the equipment you maintained and the repairs you performed under your actual level of responsibility. Keep training attendance separate from a recognised occupational qualification.
This is an illustrative writing example. Use only details that reflect your own experience.
Sources and further guidance
Sources checked 22 September 2026. Conventions can vary by employer and role; official services define their own current requirements.
