Sample CVs
We recommend that our AYF alumni add a reference to their time in Freiburg on their resume or CV. Surveys among human resource professionals have shown that study abroad experiences are a highly valued aspect of a job candidate’s profile!
Below you’ll find two examples of how a UW-Madison student majoring in German might incorporate AYF either as a part of their undergraduate education or as a full section in their CV.
Feel free to adapt this for your purpose.
