I can read a job ad and someone else's résumé and understand who they're looking for, where the person studied, where they worked, and since when.

What the text is about
You're about to read two short documents: a job ad and a résumé, a CV. A French job ad first says who they're looking for and the hours — à temps plein or à temps partiel — then what the candidate needs, and finally what to send: a CV and a cover letter.
In France a résumé is written in short sections: Formation — where the person studied, Expérience — where they worked, Langues — which languages and at what level. The structure of both documents is in the table.
Two words are easy to misread. “Le stage” is an internship, a work placement, not a stage. “La formation” is education or training, not a formation.
The job ad and the CV: the parts
The sections come in this order — use them to read the text.
| Section | What goes in it |
|---|---|
| Offre d'emploi | who they're looking for, full-time or part-time, what the candidate needs, and what to send |
| Formation | where the person studied and when they got their diploma |
| Expérience | where they worked and for how long, whether they did an internship |
| Langues | which languages and at what level |
