In France a CV is described as being very similar to a resume with the only difference being a more detailed account of personal and professional experiences, and information including nationality, marital status, and date of birth. The job cover letter and CV writing prefers French but English although not preferred is accepted. A french CV has the most recent activity first and is brief, concise, direct, and typed on one to two pages.

In Spain the main goal for a CV is to persuade the employer to invite you to a job interview. The introduction should contain many powerful keywords and action verbs. Spanish employers often scan CVs so it is a goal for the CV to make sure it cant be scanned. This is possible by avoiding for example lines and italic fonts.
