Expat International CV

Expat CV Template — Relocation & Work Permit Ready

Expat International CV answers the three questions every recruiter asks a candidate from abroad before reading anything else: where you are, when you can start and whether you already have the right to work. It puts those facts in the header, then runs a conventional two-page reverse-chronological body in English.
