Vinnumálastofnun (Directorate of Labour / vinnumalastofnun.is) is the official employment service and EURES contact. Photo + DOB usually omitted under the Jafnréttislög (Gender Equality Act 2020) + Lög um jafna meðferð (Equal Treatment Act 2018). Icelandic + English bilingual context — English-only CVs are normal for tech / tourism / fisheries / energy. EU language framework. Date format DD.MM.YYYY. Strong inbound from EEA labour market; Icelandic kennitala (national ID) is NEVER on a public CV. Patronymic family-name convention — preserve as written, do not Latinise without consent.
