What's different about a French resume?

It's simply called a CV

In France the document is the CV (curriculum vitae). It's typically concise — one page for most candidates, two for senior profiles — and read quickly by recruiters.

A photo and personal details are common

A professional photo is frequently expected, along with details such as nationality and sometimes date of birth. Add these after translating rather than following US photo-free norms.

Education carries weight

French recruiters place strong emphasis on education, especially grandes écoles and named diplomas. Keep your education section prominent and translate qualification names carefully.

A centres d'intérêt section is normal

A short hobbies-and-interests section (centres d'intérêt) is a common, expected part of a French CV — it signals personality and fit, so it's worth keeping.

Format for A4

French CVs use A4 paper and a formal, clear tone. Design for A4 so your margins and spacing print correctly.
