Excerpted from the Belgium Career Guide
In Belgium, a résumé/CV (curriculum
vitae) is usually two pages in length, but it may extend to a
maximum of three pages, depending on the jobseeker’s years of
experience. If sending an unsolicited application to an employment
agency, the applicant may wish to give more detailed information to
fully describe his/her potential. A recent graduate should
concentrate on those studies, experiences and abilities that are
most relevant. In any case, the résumé/CV should be tailored to the
job requirements.
Cover letters are generally
handwritten in Belgium, especially when directed to Belgian or other
European companies. When possible, the applicant should confirm
whether the company requires a handwritten letter as neglecting this
may cause the candidate to be rejected immediately.
You’ll find specific examples of cover letters and CV’s relevant
to Belgium in the complete Belgium guide.
