FAQ

Common questions about this CV

Do I need to name specific organizations on the CV?

Yes. HALO Trust, FSD, MAG, DCA, SES Ukraine and the AFU run different systems, standards and clearance regimes. International recruiters scan for the acronyms they recognize, so put them up front.

How do I show IMAS qualification on the CV?

A dedicated 'Certifications and clearances' block with level (IMAS EOD 1/2/3), date and certifying body. Hiring managers check it first; without it your CV won't pass a screen at an international body.

Should I include military demining experience?

Yes, but keep operational specifics off the page. General context (unit type, period, nature of work without locations) reads strong for state agencies and defence industry roles.

Is English worth listing if I've only worked in Ukraine?

Yes. International bodies report to donors in English. Even B1 opens the door at HALO, FSD and MAG. If you're below that, write the truth and add 'in progress' rather than skipping the field.
