@HorusKol I have two cities (Tallinn and Stockholm) scheduled in my Calendar for the next one year in the ratio of 60 to 40. I think I should include both in my address field. Now, I have it like Tallinn, Estonia. Stockholm, Sweden. What do you think? - - To include only one city is rough estimate. To include separate dates at each cities is too cumbersome and should be left for the cover letter.

Cover letters should always be tailored for the job you are applying to and, as an interviewer, I hesitate when I get generic looking cover letters from interstate. | |
| Feb 19, 2017 at 20:46 | comment | added | Kate Gregory | @Kilisi you wouldn't bring up travel, or what city the job is in? I think both of those are pretty important topics for the interview. Absentmindedly taking a job that requires travel you're unwilling to do would be awful. | |
| Feb 19, 2017 at 20:25 | comment | added | Kilisi | I agree, except I wouldn't even bring it up at the interview, I'd cross that bridge when I need to, if ever. | |

I leave it like this I am looking for new part-time opportunity. I do not put my city because I do not want work there. I instead relocate myself regularly to other cities for project-like work. So I think leave it away. - - I am not sure if I should set filter to countries at all. I had those Nordic countries because I am from there.

If you are only willing to work in the city where you live, then saying that your objective is a _____ position in the city of ______ is ok, but not necessary. It's up to you to apply to jobs that meet your filters; don't put your filters in your CV and then apply to things that may or may not be ok for you. | |

Great arguments! Should you also explain the wish for the primary office location in CV? - - Etc I am looking for new part-time opportunity in Norway, Sweden, Finland and/or England.
