Work / CV/Resume style standards in Poland [17]

Hello,

Having just had an unbelievable holiday in Polska (particularly Wawa), I am set on experiencing "working life" in Poland for at least a couple of years!

Background: Although born in good ol' Mokotów, Warsaw, I emigrated to Australia as a 6 year old with my parents. I'm currently working an IT career in Canberra.

So in a nutshell, I know how job seeking works in Australia, but not in Polska! I suspect if I apply for some PL jobs with my current resume (nawet przepisane po Polsku), that I will not be at the top of the pile! ;)

Question: How does a professional jobseeker structure their CV/Resume when looking for a job in PL?

For example, I have read that over 80% of job seekers include a photo of themselves on the top right-hand side of their CV. Now, doing so would be really tacky in Australia, so naturally I am hesitant. In your experience, is this true?

For every job that I apply for in Australia, I have to address key selection criteria for the role. However, the jobs that I have seen ask for a CV to be sent via an "aplikuj" link, and don't even ask for detailed responses to the job description!!!!?

In Australia I am used to the following CV structure:

-----------------

- Personal information (name, address, e-mail, phone, languages, passports, security clearances).

- Short (2 paragraphs at the most) summary of experience and strengths.

- Education summary (University name and years attended + any certificates)

- Work experience. This is a multi-page dot point section outlining company/department names + dates, and detailed responsibilities in bullet points.

- Work skills. In my case "computing skills" listing in bullet point form, my key strengths.

and finally;

- Referees names and contact details.

-----------------

Thanks for any help/assistance in advance!

I have been a "guest" observer on Polishforums over the past month, and I hope to get a little more involved into the future! Great site!

Cheers,

Kangurek
