Best for

Professionals applying to Irish domestic employers or EMEA headquarters in Ireland
Graduates and experienced candidates preparing a 1-to-2 page A4 CV without a headshot

Present Irish qualifications, NFQ levels and work history clearly

Start page one with your name, county or city (for example, Dublin, Cork or Galway), Irish phone number, email address and LinkedIn URL. Follow with a short profile grounded in your discipline and years of practice, then list your work history in reverse chronological order with month-and-year dates (MMM yyyy), employer names and outcome-focused bullet points.

In your education section, state degrees and awards accurately — such as an Honours Bachelor Degree (NFQ Level 8, First-Class Honours or 2.1), Master's Degree (NFQ Level 9), Higher Diploma or QQI/SOLAS craft qualification. Omit photographs, date of birth, marital status and PPS numbers from your Irish CV.

Prepare for EMEA enterprise portals and Irish public-sector forms

Many multinational employers in Ireland screen applications through Workday, Greenhouse, Lever or SmartRecruiters, while Irish civil and public-sector competitions (such as Publicjobs.ie) often require structured competency application forms alongside or instead of a CV. Always read the competition booklet or job advert before submitting.

If you hold Stamp 4, Stamp 1G or EU/EEA/UK right-to-work status and choose to mention it when applying from abroad, state the factual permission briefly in your header or cover note. Before uploading your A4 PDF, inspect the page breaks and check the extracted text in your browser.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should an Irish CV include a photo or date of birth?

No. Standard hiring practice across Ireland excludes photographs, dates of birth, marital status and PPS numbers in line with employment equality principles. Crisp is a text-only A4 layout without a photo slot.

How many A4 pages should an Ireland CV be?

Two A4 pages is the standard maximum for experienced professionals in Ireland, while recent university graduates and internship applicants frequently use one to two A4 pages depending on placement history.

Do I need to list Leaving Certificate results on an Irish CV?

Once you have completed a third-level degree or built several years of full-time work experience, a brief summary line or omission of Leaving Certificate subjects is normal unless an early-career graduate programme specifically asks for points or Maths/English grades.
