Swedish CV

Hi AymanAz,

my piece of advice:
- Only do what you're good at: write in English. If you don't speak Swedish, don't pretend they will know ;-) - note that it could be a big problem in your job hunt if you don't speak Swedish. Start as soon as possible.
- I'm not sure, I didn't put my photo on my CV and I got several job offers so I can say from my personal experience that it is not an issue.
- I wouldn't talk too much about personal interests unless they are linked to one of your key skills that you are about to explain further in a cover letter ( --> I played hockey for many years and that helped me be comfortable in a team, care about other teammates, etc.)
- yyyy/mm/dd, a good example is the personnummer, they also use dd month yyyy.
- I'd say the order depends on your previous experience, your education and your future employer. If you have some random education from Carcassonne, they won't probably care. if you have a degree in engineering from Stanford, well… I'll put that first.


Good luck
JL
