I am in the process of applying for a job with a company based in Belgium. They have asked that I complete a “Personal Profile”, which is very similar to what I would call a job application.
Now, I know what a CV is - I can handle that one.
But this Personal Profile references “CY X” in a few different ways, and I can’t seem to figure out what it is referencing.
The document has a heading “Personal Profile in CY X”. The second piece of information requested, after Name, is “Company(CY X)”. Further down are two sections to list Work History. The first one is titled “Work History - CY X (list most recent position first)”, and the second section is titled “Work History - pre-CY X (list most recent position first)”.
So, my question is, what is meant by “CY X”?
From the context, it appears it might mean “current employer”, but I’m not sure. And Google wasn’t any help.
Second, bonus question: When googling, I ran across a guide for American’s applying for jobs in France, and guide specifically stated not to include the phrase “References available upon request” on your CV. Well, too late, my resume included that exact phrase. Have I already faux pas’d?
