The EURES TMS project Platform adopts the Europass CV model. You must fill in all the sections of the CV in English, integrating all relevant information. We are asking you a general CV, with the maximum information possible, as this CV is the only tool we will have to understand who you are and to pre-select you for job/traineeship/apprenticeship vacancies.

-Mind that while filling in your contact details: we will use this information to reach you if your profile fits a job opportunity, so please make sure that it is updated!

The project Advisers normally analyse the CVs of all the candidates with a profile corresponding to a job vacancy and respecting all the requirements. Make sure that your CV is as complete as possible and up-date it often, to increase your possibilities to be pre-selected for a work-based placement.

If your CV is selected, you will receive a message from a project Adviser asking for authorisation to forward it to the employer.

If you are in touch with an employer located in a Country covered by the EURES TMS project, different from your Country of residence, you can invite him/her to register in the project: if the employer is eligible in the project, he/she will be assigned to and supported by a project Adviser.

You can contact a project partners or an Italian EURES Adviser  who will contact the employer to offer him/her the possibility to use EURES TMS services for their recruitment procedure. 

To make use of the project’s financial benefits, it is necessary to apply for them before doing an interview or language course or activating the recognition of the title/qualification or signing the work/training/apprenticeship contract.

Remember that you must also be registered on the platform

The reply to this question is two-fold.

On the one hand, you should consider that the CV you enter into the platform must be in English. It is important to write it in a good level of English as the evaluation of your profile will be based on this information. Therefore, if you do not speak English, it is advisable you ask for help.

On the other hand, the knowledge of English, or another foreign language, is not compulsory to participate in the project, nor is it always essential to obtain a work abroad. The importance of the language depends on the professional field. For some kind of jobs, an high level in a specific language is requested, while in other cases technical skills are more relevant.

However, in our experience, language knowledge is very often a requirement of a job vacancy, and in some countries, such as Germany, it is almost always compulsory.

Considering the relevance of language knowledge in professional mobility processes, EURES TMS provides a specific support covering part of the costs of language training courses for pre-selected or selected candidates. 

You can attend a language training:

• right after the pre-selection, in your Country
• after you have been relocated in another EU Member State, Norway, or Iceland. In this case mind that you should start your language course within 2 months from the contract starting date. 

Please note within the maximum budget foreseen for each candidate (2.200,00 EUR), you can benefit from maximum 2 different courses, so long as the second course is different from the first one. So, if you have already benefited from a project contribution for a language course and you need to reach another level or improve the knowledge of another language spoken in the host country (as official language), you can apply for language course reimbursement once again.

Organisations whose budgets are mainly or exclusively financed by EU funds cannot participate in the project as employer.

Yes, EURES TMS provides services and financial benefits to transnational and cross-border workers selected and/or hired through the project. In case you are not going to change the residence in the neighboring country where the employer is based, it is possible to access all project benefits (recognition of qualifications, reimbursement for the language course, for the job interview, if the distance between your city and the site of the interview is more than 50 km, integration programme for trainees), excluding the relocation financial benefit.

The supplementary allowance, helping those candidates cope with extraordinary expenditure when moving to another EU EFTA/EEA Country, such as candidates with disabilities, or facing special problems and need an additional economic support or coming from EU ETFA/EEA outermost regions, can only be claimed by jobseekers registered in the project platform. A family member can not claim the benefit for supplementary expenditure.

There are two possible conditions for ineligibility:

• the employer has provided coverage for one or more costs similar to those supported by the EURES TMS mobility allowance (i.e. transport, travel insurance, accommodation, meals, and all other sundries), whatever it may be (and whatever the amount) 
• any candidate who has moved temporarily to another EU/EEA country to look for a job, traineeship or apprenticeship but has kept residence in the country where s/he lived before departure is eligible to benefit from the financial measures and recruitment support, except for the mobility allowance because s/he is already living in the country of destination.
