A bit of Euro-CV help for an American
Hi all. I have an interview with a guy from Germany tomorrow and I'm polishing up my CV. Well, actually, I'm writing it. I don't have much experience with CVs, only the US-stlye resume.
One part in the "Education" section of the of the template I have asks for
quote: Level in national or international classification
I have no idea what to put there. I have my B.S. in Computer Science and I am currently going to school for my MBA. What are the correct terms for these degrees in an international setting? Or will these terms be recognized by anyone?
Also, is it true that personal hobbies should be included on the CV?
Thanks

Yes, it is normal to include a BRIEF statement about personal interests and hobbies.

Listing of key achievements is not necessary and it's not really common to call the ex-boss (unless the new and the ex are buddies of some sort)
hope that helped, maybe for future viewers of this thread anyway....
