relationships. CV and autobiographies require an active involvement of the client and
involve him/her in a process of “guided self-evaluation” (Gibson, Mitchell, 1981).
At present, in Romania the common Europass CV model is currently employed,
approved by Government Decision no. 1021 / 2004. The new CV includes information on
people’s aptitudes (technical, organizational, social, artistic, etc.) and stresses the
competences acquired throughout their lifetime, in a formal, informal, and non-formal
context. The authorities in central public administration, that is the Ministry of Labour,
the National Agency for Employment, the Ministry of Education, the National Agency
for Small and Medium Enterprises promote the common Europass CV model, also by
posting filled out models on their web sites.
The Europass CV is part of the EUROPASS portfolio, conceived as a comprehensive
instrument, ensuring a common framework for qualification and competence
transparency to facilitate mobility in the European space for education and work.
EUROPASS includes: Europass-CV , Europass-Diploma Supplement, Europass-
Certificate Supplement, Europass-Language Portfolio, and Europass-Mobility. The
Europass CV is considered the “heart” of the EUROPASS portfolio, since it refers to and
connects all the other instruments.
Method presentation
The CV and the letter of presentation are included in the category of personal marketing
methods, contributing to the preparation of a person to meet potential employees by
learning techniques and practicing presentation skills in competitive hiring situations. The
CV is a method of written self-presentation, in a synthetic and attractive manner of one’s
personal and professional qualities, taking into account the requirements of the position
desired. Compiling a CV aims to raise the employer’s interest so that the applicant be
invited to an interview.
