Tools to help you find a job and present your skills in Europe

The European Commission has created various online tools to help find a job during or after your studies and to present your skills and qualifications throughout Europe.

The EURES job portal allows you to search for a specific job type filtered by country, language, level of required education and more. You can also find information about living and working conditions in different countries, descriptions of labour market situations, announcements for international job fairs to meet employers directly, etc.

EURES provides this information on 27 European Union (EU) countries, as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. 

Another portal – Europass – helps learners, workers and job seekers across Europe to effectively communicate their skills and qualifications. It’s a useful tool to build your CV and cover letters, to gather your certificates and diploma supplements together in one place. 

Non-EU citizens may need additional documentation, such as the EU Blue Card to work in an EU country, so the Commission recommends not to leave it to the last minute to arrange a visa and/or work permit!
