How it works

How to build your CV

Choose a template (Modern or Classic) and the language of your CV, or press Fill with an example to see a finished CV first. Then add your contact details and a short profile.

Add each job with its dates and three to five achievements, one per line. Start each with a verb and include numbers where you can, such as “Cut costs by 20%”. Then add your education, skills, languages and certifications.

Check the live preview, then press Download PDF or Download Word. Your draft is saved on this device, so you can come back and tailor it for each application.

FAQ

Common questions

Is this CV builder ATS-friendly?

Yes. Both templates use a single column, real text, standard headings and no tables or images for layout, which is what applicant tracking systems read most reliably. Check your result against a job advert with our free ATS resume checker.

How long should my CV be?

One page for early-career roles and two pages for most experienced roles. Focus on the last ten years and on achievements that match the job.

Should I include a photo?

In the UK, US and Ireland, leave it out: it isn't expected and can introduce bias. In parts of Europe and Africa photos are more common, so follow local norms for the job.

Is my information stored?

No. Everything runs in your browser. A draft is saved only on your own device so you don't lose your work; press Clear to remove it.
