What France recruiters expect
French CVs follow EU + Latin convention, 1-2 pages reverse-chronological. France Travail (formerly Pôle emploi / francetravail.fr) is the public employment service. Photo + DOB historically conventional but the Loi pour l'égalité réelle entre les femmes et les hommes (2014) + Loi pour la liberté de choisir son avenir professionnel (2018) + RGPD discourage adverse use; many French CVs still include them especially in traditional sectors. French native; English required for multinationals, tech (Paris + Toulouse + Lyon clusters — Station F ecosystem), aerospace, luxury, finance, EU institutions. Section titles conventional in French (Expérience professionnelle, Formation, Compétences, Langues, Centres d'intérêt). EU language framework (A1–C2). Date format DD/MM/YYYY. Numéro de sécurité sociale NEVER on a public CV. Strong inbound from Francophone Africa, Maghreb, Belgium, Switzerland; outbound to UK, Germany, US, Canada (Québec), Switzerland, Belgium.
