Life / Electricity in Poland: plug and voltage? [73]


Probably not. Majority of modern, external switching adaptors tolerate input voltage from 100V to 240V so US 110V and EU 230V standard may be covered by one device. They produce 18.5V or 19V output voltage (Hewlett Packard). Check the label on adaptor.

But if you plug in non intelligent 110V device like hair dryer or bulb into 230V socket it may burn or blow up

My order is as follow:

- Work skills. listing in bullet point form, my key strengths.
- Short (2 paragraphs at the most) summary of experience and strengths.
- Work experience. This is a multi-page dot point section outlining company/department
names + dates, and detailed responsibilities in bullet points.
- Education summary (University name and years attended + any certificates)

If they ask me for a photo or address in CV and at the same time salary is the most top secret data I give them middle finger. I'm not going to spread my personal data at that level of recruitment process. I apply for electronics technician not for the model post.
