In one paragraph
CV Atlas describes how CVs are usually written in each country and line of work, and which bodies usually register regulated professions. This is general information to help you write your own CV. It is not legal, immigration, career or professional advice, it can be out of date, and it does not replace what an employer, a regulator or a qualified adviser tells you.
1. General information only
The country conventions, job-family tips, readiness checks and registration details in CV Atlas were compiled in October 2026 from public sources such as regulators, governments and university careers services. They describe what is common, not what every employer expects. Hiring practices vary by employer, sector, region and seniority.
2. Not legal, immigration or career advice
- Legal: where a tip mentions a law, for example an equality or data-protection law, it explains why a convention exists. It is not a statement of your legal rights or obligations. For that, ask a lawyer or the relevant authority.
- Immigration: notes about right to work, visas or residence status are about how to present that information on a CV. They are not advice on whether you can work in a country. Check with the official immigration authority or a regulated immigration adviser.
- Career: the builder does not assess your suitability for a job and cannot predict the outcome of an application.
3. Professional registration changes
Registration and licensing requirements, the names of the bodies that run them, exam routes and recognition of foreign qualifications change often. A body named in CV Atlas may not cover your exact profession, grade or region. Always confirm current requirements directly with the regulator before you apply for registration or a regulated job, and describe your status on your CV exactly as the regulator does.
4. The employer’s instructions come first
If a job advert, application form or recruiter asks for something different from CV Atlas’s suggestions (a photo, a date of birth, a page limit, a particular format), follow their instructions. Many organisations use their own application forms instead of CVs.
5. Automatic checks and templates
- The readiness check uses simple rules, for example looking for a registration name or for gaps between dates. It can miss problems and can flag things that are fine. Read your CV yourself before sending it.
- Section headings in other languages, the declaration text and the data-processing consent clauses (for example for Italy and Poland) are standard templates. Check that they fit your situation and the employer’s privacy notice, and edit or remove them if not.
- PDF and Word output depends on your browser, device and word processor. Check every exported file.
6. No affiliation
CV Atlas is independent. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to any regulator, professional body, government, employer or recruitment platform it mentions, such as medical, nursing, engineering or legal registration bodies. Their names are used only to describe how to present your registration. Trade marks belong to their owners.
7. Sources and corrections
Where possible, guidance links to its source so you can check it. If you spot something wrong or outdated, please email hello@aounzia.com with the country, the job and a link to the current official information. We correct errors as quickly as we can but cannot guarantee that every entry is current.
8. Responsibility
You are responsible for the content of your CV and your applications. To the extent the law allows, we are not responsible for decisions made by you or by employers, recruiters or regulators based on a CV made with CV Atlas. See section 8 of the terms of use.
