There are no typical European CVs. Every country will have its own style.You won't see any pictures in the UK for example, but it's still not uncommon to see one in PL.
If anything, the UK CVs stand out among European CVs as being much more like the US resumes, i.e. less invasive. Back to the context of this thread, for the parent to point to Europe as a protector of privacy for the job seeker is disingenuous.
