Senegal CV Format 2026: French CVs, Documents, Minimum Wage and Labour Law

By AIResume Editorial Team

Last updated: 27 October 2026

A good Senegalese CV is a clear, vacancy-specific document of one or two pages with your latest job first, written in French for most local employers and in English for oil and gas, NGOs, donor-funded projects and international companies. No Senegalese law we could read prescribes a CV template, requires a photo or bans one. Photo, marital status and date of birth are market habits, and the law concentrates on other things: equal access to employment, a written contract for probation and fixed-term work, a visa from the labour administration for a foreign worker's contract, and, for the civil service, the rules of each concours.[^3] Senegal also adopted a new Labour Code in 2026, so much of what older guides say about contracts, leave and dismissal is out of date.[^3]

This guide covers the Senegalese CV and application, personal data and fair hiring, an annotated fictional CV, documents and foreign degrees, pay and the minimum wage, contracts, the economy, work permits for foreigners, labour law, social security (IPRES, CSS, IPM), taxes and job scams. For where to find vacancies, see our Senegal job-board guide. It is written for Senegalese readers, including those returning from France, Italy, Spain and the United States, for French and other EU nationals, for ECOWAS nationals (Guineans, Malians, Gambians, Mauritanians, Ivorians and others), for refugees, for Moroccan, Lebanese and Chinese residents and for Japanese nationals, and it uses Senegalese terms such as CV, lettre de motivation, dossier de candidature, carte nationale d'identité CEDEAO, extrait de naissance, casier judiciaire, certificat de travail, concours, contrat de travail, période d'essai, congés payés, SMIG, IPRES, CSS, IPM, IR, TRIMF, CFCE, TVA and inspection du travail.

Editorial boundary: This is practical job-search guidance, not legal, immigration or tax advice. Our references are the Code du Travail and the Code de la Sécurité sociale as published in the Journal officiel, the labour ministry and its directorate DGTSS, the employment agency ANPEJ, the pension fund IPRES, the family-benefit fund CSS, the tax authority DGID, the statistics agency ANSD and the central bank BCEAO, and we only list figures we could read in an official or primary source. Several sites could not be opened from our network: the Journal officiel site (jo.gouv.sn), IPRES, the social security site, the DGID tax site and the justice ministry site; the ENA site opens only with a certificate warning. For that reason the text of the new Labour Code was read in scanned copies, article numbers are marked as likely, and items resting on press or on a consultancy summary are marked "reported" or "likely". Confirm details with the labour inspectorate, IPRES or DGID before you rely on them.

The CFA franc (XOF) is pegged to the euro at EUR 1 = XOF 655.957. With the European Central Bank reference rates of 26 October 2026, USD 1 is about XOF 586 and JPY 1 is about XOF 3.72, so XOF 10,000 is about USD 17 and about JPY 2,690.[^1] We write "about" because the dollar and yen rates move daily.

Senegal CV format at a glance

Personal data, photo and fair hiring

Data protection (Loi 2008-12). Senegal's personal-data law is Loi n° 2008-12 of 25 January 2008, and the regulator is the Commission de protection des données personnelles (CDP, cdp.sn). A replacement bill has been pending since 2019 and we found no evidence that it had been adopted by October 2026, so treat Loi 2008-12 as the text in force.[^5] In practice, ask a recruiter how long it will keep your CV and why it needs your identity-card number.

Photo, age, marital status. Nothing in the texts we read requires or forbids a photo, a date of birth or marital status on a CV. Local CV guides present a recent neutral-background photo, civil status and nationality as customary, and say that ECOWAS nationality can matter to the employer.[^23] That is market practice only. Our advice is to give only what the vacancy needs.

Equal access to employment (new Labour Code). The new Code defines discrimination to include race, colour, age, sex, union activity, religion, political opinion, ethnic origin, social origin, disability, pregnancy, family situation, health, HIV status and physical appearance (Art. 3, reported from the scanned text). Equality in hiring is set out in Art. 9, exceptions are limited to essential and proportionate occupational requirements such as age, health or disability (Art. 10), discriminatory acts are null (Art. 11) and a job candidate can sue before the labour court for damages (Art. 14). An employer may not refuse to hire because of pregnancy or look for information about it (Art. 275).[^3] The practical result: family situation, age and appearance on a CV are optional, and an employer may not decide on them even if local habit expects them.

Disability. The social orientation law is Loi n° 2010-15 of 6 July 2010. Art. 29 says the State and public and private bodies reserve to disabled persons, "as far as possible", the jobs that are accessible to them, in a proportion of at least 15%. This is a target, not a hard quota, and it covers private as well as public employers. Art. 26 bars disability as a ground of discrimination in access to public and private jobs and to concours. We read the law in a copy of the Journal officiel; only some of its articles have implementing decrees, according to press (likely).[^6]

Accuracy. Never inflate a CV: employers check diplomas and work certificates, and a false claim puts the job at risk (advice, not a quoted article).

Structure of a Senegalese CV

The structure below is market practice, not law. Keep one master CV and cut a version for each vacancy.

1. État civil and contact

Name, city (Dakar, Pikine, Thiès, Saint-Louis, Diamniadio, Mbour, Ziguinchor), a monitored email and a mobile number with +221. Put the target job title under your name. Add a photo, date of birth, marital status or nationality only if the advert asks or you choose to follow local habit; the new Code makes them optional for the employer's decision. Keep identity-card and passport numbers for onboarding.

2. Profil (professional summary)

Two or three lines: role, years of experience, two or three strengths and the languages you work in (French, Wolof, English at a stated level). Use the employer's own terms from the advert, and do not claim a title you have not held.

3. Expérience professionnelle in reverse chronology

List the latest job first with employer, city, month and year, and two to four bullets that show task, scope and result. A number you cannot explain in an interview does not belong on the page. Explain a gap of more than six months with one honest line such as study, care duties, job search or time abroad.

4. Formation

State the degree, institution, country and year. For a foreign degree, write the award as issued and mention equivalence only if you have it. Put short courses, licences and certificates that match the vacancy in a separate line.

5. Compétences, langues and informatique

Group skills by type and state languages truthfully: French, Wolof, English, Arabic, Portuguese. For tools, name the software you can use at work (Excel, SAP, accounting packages) rather than "informatique" in general.

6. Références

Name two referees who agreed to be contacted, and give them when asked.

Public-sector recruitment (concours)

Civil-service jobs use concours, each with its own notice. The documents depend on the arrêté of each concours, so read the arrêté d'ouverture; we found no reliable official list for 2026.

• ENA. The École nationale d'administration publishes its 2026 session arrêté on ena.sn. Cycle A requires a maîtrise or a diploma of at least level A3 and an age of 18 to 33 on 1 January; cycle B requires the baccalauréat and an age of 18 to 33. A professional route allows candidates up to 53 years old (the site still shows its 2024 text for some details).[^7]
• Civil-service application platform. The platform at emploi.fonctionpublique.sn/login is for any Senegalese, including those abroad: you create an account, activate your email and fill in your training, experience and desired jobs. It is a database of applications, not a concours portal.[^8]
• Disability. Candidates with a disability are covered by the non-discrimination rule of Loi 2010-15 (Art. 26).[^6]

Annotated fictional Senegalese CV

The sample is entirely fictional: person, employers, contacts and numbers. It does not set a legal rule. Replace every item with truthful information.

Awa Marième Exemple, Coordinatrice logistique · Dakar, Plateau · [email protected] · +221 7X XXX XX XX

*Annotation: fictional contacts. A city or district is enough; add identity-card numbers only at onboarding. A photo is optional.*

Profil : Logistics coordinator with five years of experience in order follow-up, supplier communication and customs documents for a Dakar distribution business. Works in French, Wolof and English. Seeking a supply-chain planning role.

*Annotation: match the role label to the vacancy. Do not add tools or language levels you cannot prove.*

Expérience : Coordinatrice logistique, Téranga Distribution Exemple SARL (fictional) · Dakar · mars 2024 to present

• Followed about 150 customer orders a month from confirmation to delivery.
• Built a checklist of shipping documents per destination that cut resubmitted files.
• Coordinated drivers and suppliers with the port agent in Dakar.

*Annotation: employer and figures are fictional. Support real claims with a certificat de travail, which the employer delivers when the contract ends (Art. 140 of the new Code). Notice periods are set by collective agreement or, failing that, by decree (Art. 144), so write the real notice from your contract, not a guess.*

Expérience : Assistante administrative, Saint-Louis Services Exemple (fictional) · Saint-Louis · septembre 2021 to février 2024

• Handled invoices, filing and daily cash sheets in the Thiès regional office.

*Annotation: one relevant bullet beats a long list of duties.*

Formation : Licence en gestion, Université Exemple, Dakar, 2021

*Annotation: the institution is fictional. Keep the official award name.*

Compétences et langues : Excel · order tracking · supplier follow-up · français (courant) · wolof (langue maternelle) · anglais (professionnel)

*Annotation: put the skills the vacancy asks for first.*

Cover letter, references and documents

Lettre de motivation. Three short paragraphs: why this employer, your strongest evidence and when you can start. It is useful for corporate, NGO and international roles, but it is not a legal requirement.

Identity. Carry your carte nationale d'identité CEDEAO (Senegalese), passport and residence document (foreigners) to interviews and keep copies in a separate file; do not put numbers or scans on the CV.

Diplomas and extrait de naissance. Employers usually ask for copies of diplomas and a recent extrait de naissance at onboarding. Public concours set their own list in the arrêté d'ouverture.

Casier judiciaire and medical certificate. Employers and concours often ask for a casier judiciaire and sometimes a medical certificate. The e-Senegal portal (launched in March 2026) is reported to let you request a casier judiciaire and a certificat de nationalité online; we could not confirm fees or validity, so check e-senegal.sn and ask the requester how recent the document must be. Do not pay an intermediary for a promised "fast" document.[^8]

Certificat de travail. When the contract ends, the employer delivers a certificate that contains only entry and exit dates, jobs held with dates and the collective-agreement category; it is exempt from stamp duty (Art. 140, reported from the scanned text).[^3]

References. Name two referees who agreed to be contacted, and give them when asked.

Foreign degrees: equivalence, Apostille and legalisation

Civil-service equivalence (CRCE). The commission for recognition, classification and equivalence of diplomas for the civil service (CRCE) was set up under décret 2015-582 of 11 May 2015 after an opinion of the quality agency ANAQ-Sup, with its secretariat in the Fonction publique ministry (secondary source, likely). It is not run by the higher-education ministry. CAMES recognition of a programme is treated like ANAQ-Sup accreditation under the same decree as amended (secondary source). We found no processing times or fees.[^9]

Apostille. Senegal acceded to the Hague Apostille Convention on 13 July 2022, in force from 23 March 2023. The Hague Conference table marks the accession with an objection, and press notes say several states objected, so the Convention does not apply between Senegal and them. Check whether your country accepts Senegal's accession before you order an Apostille, and ask the receiving institution or embassy if you need legalisation instead.[^10]

Regulated professions. Some professions are organised through professional orders. We did not verify any order's rules for foreigners or returnees, so ask the order which documents apply before you plan to practise.

Pay: minimum wage and salary components

The guaranteed interprofessional minimum wage (SMIG) was last set by décret n° 2023-1710 of 7 August 2023. The monthly figure is reported at about XOF 64,223 (about USD 110 / JPY 17,250), based on an hourly rate of XOF 370.526 for a 40-hour week, effective 1 July 2023. This figure comes from secondary sources only because we could not read the decree, and one site gives a different hourly rate. We found no 2025 or 2026 revision. Unions have asked for XOF 100,000.[^11]

Existing collective agreements stay in force unless they conflict with the new Code (Arts. 460 and 461, reported), so the sector agreement may still set your grid.[^3]

What this means. Compare offers on monthly pay in XOF, ask whether the figure is gross or net and which allowances are included, and ask which collective agreement applies. If an advert quotes a full-time figure below the SMIG, ask why.

Contracts and probation

New Labour Code. Senegal's new Labour Code was promulgated on 3 September 2026 and published in Journal officiel no. 7931 on 17 September 2026. It replaces Loi 97-17 (Art. 462) and is reported to be in force from 18 September 2026. Its Art. 459 applies it to contracts in progress, and the law number is given differently by different sources, so we cite it by date.[^3]

Probation (Arts. 93 to 96). A contrat d'engagement à l'essai must be written (otherwise it is treated as an indefinite contract) and filed with the labour inspectorate before it starts. Probation lasts at most 6 months including renewal and extension. Continuing after it ends makes the contract indefinite, and either party can end it at any time without notice unless the contract says otherwise.[^3]

Fixed-term contracts (Arts. 97 to 103). A CDD cannot be used for a permanent job. It must be written and filed before it starts, runs at most 2 years with one renewal or one extension, and at most 4 years in total with the same employer. Exceptions exist for seasonal work, replacement and firms in special economic zones or under the investment code (up to 5 years). A contract that goes beyond the limits becomes indefinite.[^3]

Telework. Arts. 268 to 273 give teleworkers equal treatment and a written agreement; details on the right to disconnect are left to a decree.[^3]

Placement and fees. Only the public employment service and licensed private agencies may place workers (Arts. 184 to 186), and nobody may demand any payment from a job seeker for registration, placement or related services (Art. 191). Placing a Senegalese worker abroad needs DGTSS authorisation (Art. 187).[^3]

Senegal's economy in numbers

*Source: World Bank, World Development Indicators (accessed 27 October 2026).*

The World Bank's ILO-modelled unemployment rate for 2025 is 2.7% and youth (15 to 24) unemployment is 3.6%. These are modelled estimates. The national statistics agency ANSD uses a different definition in its employment survey and measures far higher unemployment, as described below. The World Bank's international migrant stock for 2024 is 281,867 people.[^2]

National unemployment (ANSD). In the second-quarter 2026 employment survey (ENES, published 30 September 2026), the broad unemployment rate was 19.1% and the rate on the strict ILO definition was 3.2%. The activity rate was 55.9%, youth unemployment 23.5% against 14.7% for adults, and rural unemployment 29.2% against 12.6% in urban areas. In the first quarter of 2026 the broad rate was reported at 22.9% and the ILO rate at 5.1% (press).[^12]

Prices and interest rates. ANSD reports consumer prices up 1.0% year on year in September 2026. The BCEAO main policy rate has been 3.00% since 16 March 2026 (cut from 3.25%) and was left unchanged at its meeting of 9 September 2026.[^12][^13]

Population. The provisional results of the 2023 census (RGPH-5, published 9 July 2024) count 18,126,390 residents, of whom 98.9% are Senegalese nationals; the Dakar region holds 22% of the population, 39% are under 15 and 75% are under 35.[^12]

Public finances. On 1 September 2026 the IMF announced a staff-level agreement on a 36-month Extended Credit Facility of about USD 2.2 billion, still subject to approval by the IMF Board and to financing assurances (IMF press release 26/282). The Cour des comptes found a 2023 deficit of 12.3% of GDP against 4.9% announced, and central-government debt of 99.67% of GDP at end-2023.[^14]

What this means. With about one in five active people unemployed on the broad measure, formal employers can be selective, and a tailored CV and a clean document file matter more than usual. Prices were rising slowly in 2026, but ask whether an offer is reviewed each year and whether the review is written into the contract.

Work permits and rules for foreign workers

Entry and stay. Entry, stay and establishment of foreigners are governed by Loi n° 71-10 of 25 January 1971 (amended by Loi 78-12) and décret 71-860, which remain the base texts; we found no replacement.[^16]

Contract visa (Art. 105). Hiring a foreign worker requires a written contract visaed by the Directeur général du Travail et de la Sécurité sociale (DGTSS) before work starts. The employer files the request. The director has 7 clear days, and silence counts as approval. The DGTSS checks the worker's identity and professional profile, the conformity of the contract, medical fitness and the entry and stay conditions. A refusal is reasoned and voids the contract, and the employer pays the return costs. The visa fee is set by a joint finance and labour arrêté. We did not find a "no local candidate" test in the text of the Article, and we found no foreign-specific fine in the new Code.[^3]

ECOWAS nationals. Art. 105 is subject to international agreements. The entry and stay of ECOWAS nationals follows the ECOWAS free-movement protocols (likely); the exact permit regime was not verified in a primary text, so ask the labour inspectorate or DGTSS what paperwork applies to you.[^3]

Local content. The hydrocarbon sector is covered by Loi 2019-04 (promulgated 1 February 2019), which created the national local-content committee CNSCL, with local-employment priority and annual local-content plans; mining has its own law. A reform of the legal framework was put to consultation in March 2026, and we found no 2026 extension law. These obligations fall on companies, not on individual applicants.[^16]

Refugees. Loi 2022-01 of 14 April 2022 repealed the 1968 refugee law, added stateless persons and created the commission CNGRA. Ask UNHCR or a legal-aid organisation which document you need before you sign a contract.[^15]

Trafficking. Loi 2005-06 of 10 May 2005 is the anti-trafficking law, and the national coordination body became a Comité national under décret 2023-920.[^22]

Japanese nationals

Japanese nationals entering Senegal are visa-exempt for short stays, according to the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs (page updated 13 March 2026); that does not allow work, and a Japanese employee needs a visaed contract and the stay documents for long stays. Japan has no social-security agreement and no bilateral income-tax treaty with Senegal (see Social security and Taxes). We found no verified count of Japanese residents in Senegal, so we give none.[^17][^20]

Foreign workers and refugees in numbers

On 31 May 2026 UNHCR counted 17,279 refugees and 1,543 asylum seekers in Senegal.[^15] At the 2023 census, non-Senegalese made up about 1.1% of residents.[^12] The World Bank's international migrant stock of 281,867 for 2024 is a different concept, counting people born abroad.[^2] We found no official count of work visas.

Labour law: hours, leave, notice and dismissal

The standards below come from the new Labour Code (Journal officiel no. 7931, 17 September 2026). Your contract or collective agreement may be better than the law, and several rates are set outside the Code.[^3]

2026 public holidays

The list below is the widely published 2026 calendar for Senegal; we did not read the statutory text (Loi 74-52). The dates of the religious holidays are those announced by the CONACOC, the moon-sighting committee, and may differ by one day among communities. Magal, Tamkharit, 1 May and the national day are reported as paid public holidays; we found no automatic day off when a holiday falls on a Sunday.[^21]

Social security: what you pay and what you get

Two new laws. A new social-security code was promulgated on 3 September 2026 and published in Journal officiel no. 7932 on 18 September 2026. It sets rates and ceilings by regulation, and the contribution figures below are the January 2026 figures from CLEISS and PwC, which predate it. We found no new rate decree, so check with IPRES or the CSS.[^4][^18]

Pension. Under the new social-security law the pension-opening age is set by decree and can be postponed by decree by up to five years, and an early claim up to five years before is possible with a coefficient (Art. 213); we did not find the age itself in a primary 2026 text.[^4]

Unemployment benefit. None. The new Code de la Sécurité sociale has no unemployment branch. The Labour Code has a "chômage technique" allowance paid by the employer, not a state scheme.[^4]

Maternity and family allowance. Maternity leave is 18 weeks (see Labour law), with daily allowances under Arts. 201 and 202 of the social security code; we did not verify a payment percentage. Family allowances are funded by the employer's 7% CSS contribution.[^4][^18]

Foreigners. A foreign worker injured at work who leaves Senegal receives a lump sum of three times the annual pension, and has the same rights as nationals when their country has a social-security agreement or reciprocity (Art. 159). On leaving for good, nationals of countries that grant reciprocity to Senegalese can get a refund of the employee share, and nationals of agreement countries can choose a refund or a pension at normal age (Art. 240). Whether a given country counts as reciprocal was not verified.[^4]

Japan–Senegal. Japan has social-security agreements in force with 24 countries (Japan Pension Service list), and Senegal is not among them. With no agreement there is no exemption certificate, so a Japanese employee on a Senegalese payroll should expect to be covered in Senegal and should ask the Japan Pension Service how Japanese contributions are treated before leaving.[^20]

Taxes on employees

Income tax (IR, impôt sur le revenu). PwC (reviewed 7 August 2026) lists seven annual brackets: up to XOF 630,000 at 0%; XOF 630,001 to 1,500,000 at 20%; 1,500,001 to 4,000,000 at 30%; 4,000,001 to 8,000,000 at 35%; 8,000,001 to 13,500,000 at 37%; 13,500,001 to 50,000,000 at 40%; and above XOF 50,000,000 (about USD 85,300 / JPY 13.4 million) at 43%. Tax is computed per family share and multiplied by the number of shares. We could not read the tax code (the DGID site did not open), so we do not print the abatement or the family-share table; check with DGID or your payroll.[^19]

TRIMF. PwC lists a minimum personal income tax withheld from pay by annual income: XOF 900 up to XOF 599,999; XOF 3,600 from 600,000 to 999,999; XOF 4,800 from 1,000,000 to 1,999,999; XOF 12,000 from 2,000,000 to 6,999,999; XOF 18,000 from 7,000,000 to 11,999,999; and XOF 36,000 from 12,000,000 (reported). This is the TRIMF, a national tax and not a municipal income tax.[^19]

CFCE (employer). The employer pays a contribution of 3% of total gross salaries. It is not deducted from your pay.[^19]

TVA (consumption tax, not on salary). The standard rate is 18%, with 10% on tourism activities. It is charged on what you buy, not on your pay.[^19]

No resident-type local tax. We found no local income tax on employees comparable to Japan's resident tax (住民税, juminzei); the TRIMF is the closest thing to a flat per-head tax, but it is a state tax (likely).[^19]

Japan–Senegal tax treaty. The Japanese Ministry of Finance list (91 treaties covering 157 countries and regions as of 1 October 2026) shows Senegal only under the multilateral convention on mutual administrative assistance in tax matters, so there is no bilateral income-tax treaty. A Japanese resident working in Senegal should check double-taxation relief with the National Tax Agency of Japan and DGID.[^20]

Where to find jobs, recruitment agencies and job scams

Recruitment agencies. By law, only the public employment service and licensed agencies may place workers, and no payment may be demanded from a job seeker (Arts. 184 to 186 and 191).[^3] A legitimate employer or agency should not charge you for a job, an interview or a CV review.

Scams. ANSD warned in August 2026 about a fake recruitment site copying its logo and said it recruits only through recrute.ansd.sn. A supermarket chain denied fake job offers in 2025, and fake Schengen-visa offers led to arrests in Dakar in March 2026 (press).[^22] We found no current communiqué from ANPEJ, the ministry or the police. Red flags: a fee for a job, a visa or an interview, an offer that arrives only on WhatsApp, an employer with no verifiable address, and a request to send your passport scan before an interview. Never give your original passport to an employer or agent; this is advice, not a legal rule. Never pay for a job.

Final checks before you apply

• [ ] The language matches the advert (French or English), and the two versions say the same thing.
• [ ] The CV is one or two pages and the strongest evidence is on page one.
• [ ] Every date, degree and language level is true.
• [ ] I decided on purpose whether to include a photo, date of birth and marital status; identity-card and passport numbers appear only where a verified form asks.
• [ ] For a concours, I read the arrêté d'ouverture for its documents, age limits and deadline.
• [ ] If I am a foreigner, I know the contract-visa route (Art. 105), or the ECOWAS rules that apply to me, and that a visa exemption for short stays does not allow work.
• [ ] I checked whether my foreign degree needs equivalence (CRCE for the civil service) and whether my country accepts Senegal's Apostille.
• [ ] I know the pay basis: XOF, gross or net, allowances, and that the SMIG is reported at about XOF 64,223 a month.
• [ ] The contract is written, I understand the probation (6 months at most) and fixed-term limits, and I will keep my copy.
• [ ] No one asked me for a fee for a job, a visa or an interview.
• [ ] I will ask for a certificat de travail when I leave.
