How to prepare your enquiry for work in the EU

A clear enquiry makes your experience easier to understand and helps identify opportunities that match your interests. You do not need a perfectly written CV for the first contact: accurate, specific information matters most.

Describe the work you have actually done

Include your job title, how long you worked and a few everyday responsibilities. Instead of simply writing “production work”, describe the machines, tools or materials you used. If you are starting your career, mention practical training, courses or other relevant skills.

Prepare the essential details

• A contact number with your country code and an email you check regularly.
• Your occupation, previous experience and skills you want to use.
• The languages you speak and your actual level.
• The country or countries where you would like to work.
• Your approximate availability and any important conditions to clarify.

Explain your expectations

Think about the type of work, working hours and your readiness to relocate. If accommodation or a particular starting date matters to you, mention it in your enquiry so these points can be discussed early.

What happens next?

JobScoutEU reviews the basic information and clarifies your interests. When there is a suitable opportunity for an introduction, the next steps are discussed with you. The employer conducts conversations, selects candidates and agrees employment terms.

An enquiry expresses interest; it is not a job offer or a guarantee of employment. Start with the Find a job form.
