FAQ

Common questions about this CV

Can I move from a national border service to Frontex?

Yes. Frontex needs B1-B2 English, a clean service record and 2-3 years of experience minimum. Joint Operations courses open the short-term mission rotations.

How do I describe service on a combat-adjacent border?

Use task types and skills: observation, detection of incursion groups, coordination with the army. Skip geography and operational specifics.

Is border guard experience valued in private security?

Yes, especially in logistics, export, aviation and maritime security. Document, customs and border knowledge transfer well.

Should I learn Polish or Romanian for western borders?

Yes. The neighboring-country language speeds up work and opens joint patrols, EU border missions and customs-logistics companies.
