Resume template for Poland, with the Polish consent clause

Meridian prints skills in labelled rows above the jobs, so the sample's SAP and Coupa experience and its English and German levels come before the jobs. Its extra list prints at the very end of the page, which is where EURES places the consent clause, and its plain grey rules suit a finance role.

Second choice: Henrietta. Henrietta keeps a conservative black and grey business look and prints education straight after experience, if your degree or ACCA studies are the stronger argument.

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. Three lines: the process area, the scale (entities, invoice volumes, team size) and your working languages. In an English-language application to a Polish employer, this paragraph is the first proof of your English.
2. Skills. EURES lists additional skills as a standard part of a Polish CV. For shared services, that means the finance systems you use daily and your languages with a level; the sample uses CEFR levels.
3. Work Experience. Newest job first: Warsaw University of Technology's careers office calls reverse chronology the rule. Keep Polish company names exactly as registered; the same office says not to translate the names of Polish employers in an English CV.
4. Education. In an English CV, translate the name of the university and the degree, as the careers office suggests. Leave copies of diplomas and certificates out of the application; it advises against attaching them.
5. Consent to data processing. EURES describes a consent to the processing of personal data under the CV, citing the Polish Personal Data Protection Act of 10 May 2018 and the GDPR, confirmed with a handwritten signature. Resumity prints the clause as the last section but cannot print a signature, so sign a printed copy or insert a scanned signature in 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.
