CV format guide

What to know about local CV conventions before you apply in this country.

Local term: CV / LebenslaufPhoto: Usually expected

In Switzerland, a professional photo is expected in nearly every region — unlike the shift happening in Germany, this hasn't changed. Length runs about 2 pages, and you should include reference letters (Arbeitszeugnisse) and a motivation letter (Motivationsschreiben).

These are general guidelines based on common practice, not hard rules — a specific employer's expectations can differ. When in doubt, it's safe to keep both a with-photo and a without-photo version ready.
