Build a CV that Italy recruiters actually read

What Italy recruiters expect

Italian CVs follow EU Europass conventions. 1-2 pages reverse-chronological. ANPAL (Agenzia Nazionale Politiche Attive del Lavoro / anpal.gov.it) is the National Agency for Active Employment Policies + Centri per l'Impiego network. Photo + DOB historically conventional but Decreto Legislativo 198/2006 (Codice delle Pari Opportunità) + Decreto Legislativo 215/2003 + GDPR all discourage them. The Autorizzazione al trattamento dei dati personali (GDPR consent line) at the bottom is conventional and often legally necessary. Italian native; English required for multinationals + Northern Italy industry; regional languages (Friulian, Sardinian, etc.) optional. EU language framework (A1–C2). Codice fiscale NEVER on a public CV. Date format DD/MM/YYYY. Strong outbound corridor to Germany, Switzerland, UK, France, US, Australia.
