CV & resume standards in Portugal

This is the live market data our scanner applies when a resume targets Portugal — not an opinion piece. The local document is the Currículo; here is what employers there actually expect.

Photo on the CV? Common — most applicants include one

Professional headshot customary; declining under EU anti-discrimination practice.

Personal data conventions

DOB/nationality customary; marital status fading.

Market conventions

• • Conservative, EU-aligned, outcome-driven
• • Europass known but no longer preferred by private-sector recruiters

Check your resume against these standards

The free scan evaluates your resume against Portugal's norms automatically — photo expectations, personal-data conventions, length, and the keywords your industry expects.
