For English speakers job hunting in Italy

Create a Europass CV with AI, tailored to every job ad in Italy

Paste the ad and in about a minute the AI writes your CV in the European format for that job: Europass sections, languages with their CEFR level, digital skills, and the data-consent line at the end. Then refine it in the editor and run the ATS check to see what the ad asks for that your CV lacks. Prefer a modern CV? Choose it when you create the CV.

Your CV in Italy: what recruiters check

Some habits are purely Italian. These are the things a recruiter in Milan or Rome tends to look at first, and how to handle each one on your CV.

A wording you will often see
«Autorizzo il trattamento dei dati personali contenuti nel mio curriculum vitae ai sensi del D.Lgs. 196/2003 e del Regolamento UE 2016/679 (GDPR).»

In English: "I authorise the processing of the personal data in my CV under Legislative Decree 196/2003 and EU Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR)." An example only, not legal advice; if the ad gives its own wording, use that.

Build my CV
  • Privacy

    The data-consent line

    Many Italian recruiters still expect a closing line allowing them to process your personal data under the GDPR. In the European format the AI adds it for you; on a modern CV you type it yourself below the last section.

  • Laurea

    Your degree and its grade

    Italian degrees are graded on a 110 scale, with "110 e lode" representing the highest score. Give the type (a laurea triennale is a bachelor's, a laurea magistrale a master's), the institution, the year, and the grade if relevant.

  • RAL

    Salary stays off the CV

    Of the job listings in our list, roughly a third mention the RAL, the gross annual salary. Keep any current or expected salary figures off your CV; this topic usually comes up at the interview stage.

  • Tirocinio

    Internships and apprenticeships count

    An internship (tirocinio) or apprenticeship (apprendistato) counts as real experience in Italy. List it under experience, naming the company and your tasks. Out of ten listings in our list, about one is an internship.

  • Contract

    Contract words in the ads

    Permanent employment is marked by 'tempo indeterminato', while 'tempo determinato' means fixed-term contracts, and 'partita IVA' means freelance work. You can filter your job search by contract type and by on-site, hybrid, or remote work.

  • Languages

    Languages with a level

    For each language, give the CEFR level (B2, C1) or name the certificate you have. "Good Italian" gives recruiters no useful information.

Europass CV or a modern CV?

Many in Italy still regard the Europass layout, the European CV, as the standard. Whether this choice is right depends on who will read your application.

When the Europass format makes sense

  • Competitions open to the public (concorsi pubblici) and calls that specify European CV by name
  • EU programmes, traineeships and funding calls
  • Certain public bodies, universities and schools

When a modern CV serves you better

  • Private employers, from small firms to global groups
  • Applications an ATS screens first
  • Ads asking for a short CV of one or two pages

CreareCV does not fill in the form on the Europass portal. In the European format, the AI writes your CV with the Europass sections: personal information, work experience, education and training, language skills with their CEFR level, digital skills, a driving licence if you have one, and data consent. Then it fits the CV to each ad. If a call insists on the official form, copy the text across into the Europass template.

Europass or a modern CV? Pick your situation

In Italy, international applicants face four distinct situations, each with its own format.

The Italian CV: the basics employers in Italy look for

For private employers, an Italian CV is usually one to two pages, often shorter than a Europass CV. Four things that matter in Italy:

  • Photo: your callMany Italian CVs still include it; if yours does, make sure it stays professional. On the Europass format, it's optional.
  • Leave out the codice fiscaleJust give your name, phone number, email, and city. Your Italian tax code is needed once you're hired, not earlier on the CV.
  • Diploma out of 100, laurea out of 110Studied abroad? Give your grade as awarded, with its scale.
  • The language of the adEnglish CV for English ads, two in three on our list.

You can move sections, change your listed role, or remove the photo whenever you like in the editor.

Questions about applying in Italy

Should my CV for Italy be in English or Italian?
Match the language of the ad. About two in three listings in our job list are in English, chiefly at international firms; for an Italian-language ad, use the language switch up top; the AI then writes the CV in Italian.
Do Italian employers still want the Europass format?
Numerous public competitions, tenders, and EU initiatives require it, and many Italian recruitment professionals are familiar with it, hence CreareCV begins each CV in the European format. For a private enterprise, a modern CV may be more suitable: select it while composing the CV, or adjust the default in Settings.
Can I create a different Europass CV for each job ad?
Yes. Create one CV per ad and paste the job description: the AI brings forward the experience and skills that ad asks for, in the European format or the modern one.
What is the privacy line at the end of an Italian CV?
Under the GDPR (EU Regulation 2016/679), you grant your employer the right to process your personal data. This line is still expected by many recruiters in Italy. In the European format the AI adds it as the closing line; on a modern CV you add it yourself.
How do I list an Italian degree and its grade?
Give the degree type (laurea triennale for bachelor's, laurea magistrale for master's), the institution, the graduation year, and the grade out of 110 if it's notable. Early in your career, the grade matters; after some work experience, you can leave it out.
Should I put a photo on a CV for Italy?
Your call. Many applicants still include photos in their Italian CVs. Feel free to add one or leave it out.
Can the AI write my cover letter as well?
Start with your CV, paste the Italian job ad, and then have the AI write a one-page cover letter focused on the role's requirements; this also works for speculative applications. You can refine it in the editor.
How does the CV check work with an ATS?
It compares your CV with a specific ad, showing which criteria you meet, which you don't, and which keywords an applicant tracking system would struggle to find in your CV.
Can I make my first Italian CV for free?
Yes, to start. Without signing up, you get 1 CV made with AI, 3 AI edits, and one PDF download. More downloads come with the free 7-day trial.
