Summary/Abstract: For over a decade our country has become a full member state of the European Union, which has meant a series of deep changes in all the domains of human endeavor, including education. Currently, the Europass CV is in general use in approximately 30 countries, as it has proved to have a series of major advantages. Therefore, it is one of the roles of the academia to provide support to the future graduates to develop their appropriate job application package of documents, which should include a widely-recognized CV and an appropriate cover letter, as well as preparation for job interviews. The study will thus include both a discussion of the Europass CV pros and cons, and a proposal of a model approach to the teaching of it within an ESP course for engineering students, as a means of updating the course book content.
