What Belgium recruiters expect

Belgian CVs follow EU Europass conventions but are language-region-sensitive — Dutch (Flemish) for Flanders, French for Wallonia, German for the East cantons, English for Brussels EU bubble and many multinationals. 1-2 pages reverse-chronological. VDAB (Flanders / vdab.be), Le Forem (Wallonia / leforem.be), Actiris (Brussels / actiris.brussels), ADG (German-speaking) — choose the regional employment service matching the target role. Photo + DOB conventional in French / Dutch formats but optional under the Wet Gelijke Behandeling (Equal Treatment Act 2007). EU language framework. Date format DD/MM/YYYY. NISS (national ID) NEVER on a public CV. Multilingual language section is essential.
