CV in Norway - what format?

creating CV we have two options for delivering the document to the employer:

  • paper version (delivered directly to the employer or sent by post),
  • electronic version (we send the document in doc or PDF format by electronic means).

While in the case of the paper version and its delivery it is not complicated, in the electronic version it is worth getting acquainted with the difference between the two most commonly used CV formats.
