What changes between an Indian resume and a CV for Luxembourg
CV.
Photographs are common on Luxembourg CVs and are not required either way.
Nationality and permit status. Language levels on the CEFR scale are essential rather than decorative.
Two pages.
French is the most common language for applications, English is standard in finance and technology, and German and Luxembourgish are valued for public-facing roles. Apply in the language of the advertisement.
The rules that only apply in Luxembourg
- Financial services, fund administration and the EU institutions dominate professional hiring, and your real competition is cross-border commuters from France, Belgium and Germany rather than other international applicants.
How your CV actually gets read in Luxembourg
The market is small and specialised — a few hundred employers carry most professional hiring, and recruitment agencies covering fund administration and audit place a large share of it. Precision about the fund structures and regulatory regimes you have actually worked with beats general finance vocabulary.
Where Luxembourg roles are advertised: ADEM, Moovijob and LinkedIn.
What employers in Luxembourg ask about your right to work
Third-country nationals need an authorisation to stay for salaried work, applied for before arrival, with the EU Blue Card available for graduate-level roles above a salary threshold.
