CV Tips for Spain

Use Spanish unless the job ad asks for another language.

Submitting an English CV to a Spanish employer who advertised in Spanish can read as inattention to detail; matching the language of the job ad is a basic signal that you have read and understood the role requirements.

Include a professional photo only when it fits the role and employer.

Photo expectations in Spain are more common than in the UK or US, but not universal; for multinational companies or roles where the ad says nothing, omit it to keep the focus on your experience and avoid any bias risk.

Add DNI or NIE only when explicitly requested.

Sharing personal identification numbers introduces unnecessary privacy risk if the employer has not asked for them; hold this information back until an official stage of the hiring process explicitly requires it.

Keep the CV concise and easy to scan.

Spanish employers typically expect a two-page maximum; a concise, well-structured CV that leads with your strongest evidence makes it easier for recruiters to reach a fast shortlisting decision.
