Europass Profile
It’s an online profile that is used to record the learning and work experience, along with other information that its user considers as useful when applying for a job or searching for learning opportunities. It consists of separate fields that are designed to facilitate the completion of the profile.
Europass CV
This tool is an extension of Europass Profile, which allows the user to pick the specific information that he/she wants from his/her Europass Profile and adjust it to the job that he/she wants to apply for. Thus, multiple numbers of CVs can be created without changing anything on the main profile.
