Build a CV that Poland recruiters actually read

What Poland recruiters expect

Polish CVs (CV / Życiorys) follow EU + German-adjacent convention. 1-2 pages reverse-chronological. Wojewódzki Urząd Pracy network + Powiatowe Urzędy Pracy (PUP) under the Ministry of Family, Labour and Social Policy (gov.pl/rodzina) are the public employment services + EURES Poland. Photo conventional in traditional sectors but Kodeks pracy art. 11³ (anti-discrimination provision) + the 2010 Equality Act discourage adverse use. The classic GDPR-compliance clause (Zgoda na przetwarzanie danych osobowych) at the bottom of the CV is conventional and often legally necessary. EU language framework (A1–C2). Date format DD.MM.YYYY or YYYY-MM-DD. PESEL (national ID) NEVER on a public CV. Strong outbound corridor to UK, Germany, Netherlands, Ireland, US, Norway.
