About this portugal cv template
Many jobs in Portugal, especially in Lisbon and Porto support and tech hubs, are open to international candidates and are applied for in English. Employers still want a few local details: your right to work (EU citizen, residence permit or job seeker visa), your languages on the European A1–C2 scale, whether your degree is recognised in Portugal, and your NIF tax number once you have one. A photo is optional. The sample is a multilingual customer support specialist.

Tips for jobs in Portugal
Languages win jobs
Lisbon and Porto support hubs hire for German, French, Dutch, Nordic and other languages. Put every language first-class.
Be clear about status
Say whether you are an EU citizen, hold a residence permit or are on a job seeker visa. It decides how fast you can start.
Learn some Portuguese
Even A2 Portuguese shows you plan to stay and helps with local companies.
Keep it short
One to two pages. Portuguese recruiters prefer a clean, factual CV over a designed one.
