Create my Swiss CVWhy a Swiss CV is different
The Swiss job market has its own conventions. Unlike the US or UK, a Swiss CV typically includes a photo, nationality, and work permit status. Swiss recruiters expect a well-structured, concise, and professional document that respects local standards. With CV Builder, you create a CV that meets these requirements exactly.
Essential elements of a Swiss CV
- Professional photo (strongly recommended)
- Nationality and residence/work permit
- Languages with detailed levels (essential in multilingual Switzerland)
- References available upon request
- A4 format, 1 to 2 pages maximum
- No salary expectations on the CV

Should I include a photo on a Swiss CV?
Yes, in Switzerland it is strongly recommended to add a professional photo to your CV. It is standard practice in most sectors. CV Builder makes it easy to add and crop your photo.
What language should I use for a CV in Switzerland?
Write your CV in the language of the job posting. In French-speaking Switzerland, French is standard. In German-speaking regions, German. For international positions, English is often accepted. With CV Builder, you can create multiple versions in different languages.
How many pages should a Swiss CV be?
