THE EUROPASS PLATFORM: PROFILE, CV AND THE COVER LETTER
1. THE EUROPASS PROFILE
The new Europass portal is much more than just an online platform for creating CVs. It is a comprehensive online platform that supports individuals in managing their learning and career development across Europe. Registered users benefit from a personalized experience. They can create and save their profiles, CVs, and other documents securely on the platform, making it easy to update and reuse them for future applications.
Additionally, registered users can explore tailored job and training opportunities based on their profile information. They also have access to features like notifications about relevant vacancies and the ability to share their profiles directly with employers or institutions.
Guests, on the other hand, have limited access. While they can create and download Europass CVs and cover letters, their work cannot be saved for later use. This means guests must complete their documents in one session and download them immediately to avoid losing their progress. They also miss out on personalized recommendations and the convenience of centralized document storage.
As most Europass users visit the portal with the aim to present their skills and competencies effectively in a job application, this section of the e-Course focuses on four key learning outcomes:
-
- Creating a Europass profile and generating a tailored Europass CV in PDF format, designed for applying to a variety of job vacancies.
- Preparing a Europass CV as a guest.
- Creating a Europass Cover Letter.
- Exploring additional features of the Europass portal.
