Curriculum vitae amsterdam

A Curriculum Vitae is written in reverse factual chronological order. Between professional and educational experience, you should place the one that describes your most recent status first. For instance, if you have just graduated, it is advisable to mention your studies and then your work experience (if any).

There are also many books and online templates available. The American Book Center or Waterstones at Spui both stock a comprehensive range of reading material and the Amsterdam public library (Openbare Bibliotheek Amsterdam) also has a good selection, free of charge.

When it comes to a CV, every country has its own style and preferences; some countries insist on a photo, others your date of birth and some prefer to know your work history first, whilst others want to discover your educational credentials at a glance. Much like the Dutch themselves, a CV in the Netherlands should be to the point and concise.
