CV and cover letter templates for jobs in Lithuania

What to put in a CV

• Contacts: name, phone, e-mail, city (a full home address is not needed – VDAI says employers should not ask for it without justification).
• Target position in the first line and 2–3 lines of summary: who you are, years of experience, one or two key skills, availability.
• Experience in reverse chronological order (latest first) with 2–3 results with numbers; explain longer gaps (Europass advice).
• Education, certificates and licences relevant to the job (forklift, driving category, welding etc.) with validity dates.
• Languages with levels (A1–C2): employers in Lithuania often ask about Lithuanian, English and Russian.
• Keep it to 1–2 pages and tailor the summary to each vacancy: copy the key words from the advert.

What to leave out

• Current or previous pay. Since 2026-06-07 the Labour Code (Art. 41) forbids employers to demand it, so you do not need it in a CV.
• Marital status, children, date of birth/age, ID number, copies of documents. VDAI says employers should not ask for family status or age without a justified need; send documents only when the employer asks for a specific one.
• Photo: optional. Europass suggests a professional photo, but it is not required for most jobs; leave it out if the advert does not ask.

Your data and consent

• After the selection ends, the employer should normally delete candidates’ data, unless you give clear consent to keep it for a defined time and purpose (VDAI guidance).
• If you want to be considered for future vacancies, add a one-line consent with a period (see the template). Without it you can ask the employer to delete your CV.

Cover letter: structure

• One page at most, formal and polite tone, simple font size 11–12 (Europass).
• Paragraph 1: why you are applying for this job. Paragraph 2: why you are a suitable candidate – one concrete example from your CV. Paragraph 3: why this company suits you – one fact about the employer.
• Use keywords from the advert (punctual, organised, team player etc.) only if they are true.
