I'm very early in the process of looking for a job in Europe, and lots of things do indeed seem to be different. Here are some things I've been asked to provide prior to an interview (that none of my US-based employers have requested) : * Full life-long gapless CV * marital status * family status * hobbies * original college transcript * multiple references * picture To your point, there definitely seems to be more stigma against those without college education. I once accidentally sent a resume without my college info, and was asked matter-of-factly if I was "uneducated". In the US, most employers don't even seem to care about my schooling anymore since I have 5+ years of professional experience.
