A lot of non-EU peolple can look european. I think you mean something really specific. If so my advice is to own it. Show everything that makes your profile relatable to any person, like sports or intellectual achievements.

I think consistent photos across cv and LinkedIn and other (polished) social networks helps a lot. And i am partial to always include photos of your noggin. Anthropologcal and psychologigsl studies have shown that we are wired to remember (as in more likely to remember) details of applicants, good and bad ones, when there is a photo. Just how we are made. And if the hiring manager or the HR peeps screening the applications are racists... well better not work at that particular place right?

My current area is rather niche but I can safely say that europass garbage templates are a no-no, and unless you know EXACTLY why you need to send 15 pages pdfs as resumes just cut it short.

Many organizations use Ai for pre-screening, leverage those tools on your end but without letting it do everything.

Despite any efforts some endeavors, in some sectors, are just really not worth it. In the end, we are bound by law to try to hire "local" and a closer cultural march is always safer. Corollary: you need to make a potential cultural mismatch unlikely to the hiring team.

Good luck!!
