Leisure time interests

It's not something you have to write about, but it can give an employer a picture of who you are. Perhaps you have interests that may be relevant to the job you are applying for? If you are applying for your first job and you don't have much to write in yours CV , it is good to enter your hobbies and volunteer work.

Reference

Sometimes an employer wants to talk to someone who already knows you. These are called references. For example, it could be your previous boss, coach or teacher. You don't have to put it in yours CV , unless the job ad says you have to include it. Typically, the employer will only ask about this after the interview, but it's a good idea to think about who you can ask for references. Ask in advance those you want to list what references they will give you. They don't have to say anything nice about you if they don't they want, so make sure you have someone who can give you good references.

Zdjęcie

Attaching a photo is optional. If you want, you should choose a photo that clearly shows your face from the chest up.

Remember:

You do not need send copies, diplomas or certificates  until the employer asks for it. Remember that never send original documents, such as diploma.

It is common to send applications and CV by e-mail, but check what is written in the job advertisement.
