Describe your level of verbal and written knowledge of languages. Mention your computer skills too. Do not include your photo into CV.

During the interview, you will have to describe and explain your experience noted in your CV. Avoid talking about the salary at the first interviews and wait for the company to offer you the position before you raise the subject.
