• Font family (Inter, Roboto, Open Sans)

These options help you create a CV that matches your personal brand and industry standards.

What information should I include?

Essential sections:
• Personal Information: Name, contact details, LinkedIn
• Professional Summary: Brief overview of your experience and goals
• Work Experience: Previous jobs with responsibilities and achievements
• Education: Degrees, schools, and graduation dates
• Skills: Technical and soft skills relevant to your field
• Languages: Languages you speak and proficiency levels

Focus on relevance and keep it concise (ideally 1-2 pages).

Can I use the generated CV for job applications?

Absolutely! For applications screened by software, use the 'ATS Text PDF' button: it builds a PDF with real, selectable text so an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) can parse your name, skills and experience. The standard 'Export PDF' button produces a pixel-perfect, design-rich version (rendered as an image) that is ideal for emailing recruiters, LinkedIn uploads or printing.

How do I make my resume ATS-friendly?

Applicant Tracking Systems read text, not images. To pass them:
• Use the 'ATS Text PDF' export here, which writes real, selectable text
• Keep a clean, single-column, reverse-chronological layout
• Mirror keywords from the job description in your summary and skills
• Use standard section titles (Experience, Education, Skills)
• Quantify achievements with numbers and strong action verbs
• Avoid tables, graphics and unusual fonts in the parsed copy

How long should a CV or resume be?

For most roles, aim for one page if you have under ten years of experience, and two pages at most for senior or academic profiles. Recruiters skim for seconds, so lead with your strongest, most relevant achievements, keep bullet points concise, and remove outdated roles. The single-column templates here are designed to stay readable at one page.

How many work experience entries can I add?

You can add as many work experience and education entries as needed. However, it's recommended to focus on the most relevant and recent positions (typically the last 10-15 years) to keep your CV concise and impactful.

What if I'm a student with no work experience?

That's perfectly fine! You can:
• Focus on your education section with relevant coursework
• Include internships, volunteer work, or part-time jobs
• Highlight academic projects and achievements
• Emphasize skills gained through studies and extracurricular activities
• Use the Professional Summary to express your enthusiasm and career goals
