CV template for Hungary (Hungarian CV format)

Meridian prints the skills block right under the profile, so the IT skills and language proficiency that EURES counts among the required details are read before the jobs. Its black and grey layout with thin rules gives a sober finance look, and the closing custom list holds the driving licence and hobbies.

Second choice: Henrietta. Henrietta puts experience and then education ahead of a three-column skills grid; pick it if your degree outweighs your systems.

Meridian template details and test results

Meridian prints its sections in a fixed order, the same in the PDF and the Word file. Here is that order for this sample, and what to put in each section.

1. Professional Summary. Two or three sentences: role, years, the reporting you own and the languages you work in. EURES says the cover letter and the CV must be consistent with each other, so use the same job title here as in the letter.
2. Skills. EURES names IT skills and language proficiency among the details a Hungarian CV must always include. Give each language a level and mention a language exam certificate if you hold one, since EURES says copies of those certificates go with the application.
3. Work Experience. Places of work and experience, newest job first. Name the closes, ledgers and reports you handled. A University of Debrecen career talk adds that internships and volunteer work count as experience when you are starting out.
4. Education. EURES asks for education in reverse chronological order. The Debrecen career centre's talks suggest adding your thesis topic, study abroad and roles in student organisations, and say secondary school needs no line unless it was a specialised school.
5. Certifications. EURES lists training courses and professional qualifications as a block of their own, newest first. ACCA and similar credentials print near the bottom in Meridian, so name the main one in the headline too.
6. Driving licence and interests. EURES closes its list of required details with the driving licence and hobbies and leisure activities. Give each a single line; a hobby with a club, a role or a result says more than one word.

The same content as the files above, so you can copy a line or compare it with your own.

We exported this sample with Resumity's PDF exporter in Chrome on 2026-10-29 and read the file back with three open-source text extractors. This shows whether software that turns a PDF into text can recover it; it is not a test of any commercial applicant tracking system. How we test templates.

We opened every page below on that date. Pay, rules and requirements change, so check the source before you rely on a detail.

1. EURES (European Commission and the public employment services): Living and working conditions: Hungary (CVs must be prepared in Hungarian and, depending on the post, also in English; no longer than one or two pages; must include personal data and contact details, education and training in reverse chronological order, workplaces and experience, IT skills, language proficiency, driving licence, other skills, hobbies; ask referees for permission before including their name, phone, position and company; attach copies of qualification documents and language exam certificates; employers will probably check online presence; cover letter one page, signed by hand if on paper, consistent with the CV.)
2. University of Debrecen, Student Career Centre (Hallgatói Karrierközpont): Report on Dr Edina Márkus's career management lecture on job seeking (2022) (Family information used to be included in CVs but no longer is; the European (Europass) format is the most used, listing recent experience and training first; internships and volunteering count as experience; include language skills and driving licence; finish the CV with your signature; secondary school not necessarily listed; common mistakes include a bad photo and poor spelling.)
3. University of Debrecen, Student Career Centre (Hallgatói Karrierközpont): Report on a Career Management series lecture by Dr Edina Márkus on job-seeking practice (Mentioning the thesis topic, study abroad and roles in university organisations makes a CV stand out; very short jobs, secondary schooling irrelevant to the job and template phrases do not help; Europass is available free in 27 languages.)
