Hard disagree. I am a very strong supporter of EU wide initiatives but this one is misguided. - You cannot have a single CV template for all professional fields. - The template is beyond verbose and low density, it takes forever to parse relevant info, you have to assume HR or hiring managers will reasonably skim through for 10 to 15 seconds before making a first pass decision. - Too many sections might make sense for Writer/Marketing/Management/Sales but are useless for technical work, as an e.g. I can speak 6 languages at a confortable level yet it has never been relevant in any Hiring process for my technical roles, it is a waste of space (and reader attention) to have a quarter of a page on language skills. Personally I think something like ModernCV is a much better starting point for a technical CV.
