Preparing your CV for Estonia
EURES describes a CV and covering letter as the usual application documents, with a photo optional. It recommends a CV within two A4 pages and notes that larger employers may supply a format of their own. Salary expectations belong in the application when requested.
Check the complete application
Use the specified form when there is one. A technology application should explain what you built or maintained, your individual contribution and how the work was checked. Avoid unexplained lists of frameworks.
A practical writing example
For a backend role, “Added retry handling and duplicate-event checks to an order import service” identifies a concrete engineering task. Add a performance claim only when you have a measurement and a clear comparison.
This is an illustrative writing example. Use only details that reflect your own experience.
