A CV maker that shows you the result first
Most people write a CV once every few years and have no way of telling whether it looks right until someone else sees it. This CV maker takes that guesswork away. You choose a template, fill in the sections, and the preview updates as you type, so the finished page is in front of you the whole time.
There is no charge for any of that. You only pay at the end, when you have decided you want the file to send to employers.
Three steps, start to finish
No design skills needed — the layout is handled for you.
Choose a CV template
Browse the collection and pick a layout that suits the kind of job you are applying for. Plain and simple usually travels furthest.
Add your details
Work history, education, skills, contact details. Spacing, margins and headings are handled for you, so nothing drifts out of line.
Preview it, then decide
Look at the finished CV at full size. If it reads well, pay once and download it. If not, change the template and look again.

Templates for different situations
A CV template is not only a matter of taste. The right structure depends on how much history you have and what you want the reader to notice first.
Plain and simple
One column, clear headings, nothing decorative. The safest choice when you are applying through a company portal.
ATS-safeModern
A little more character in the spacing and headings, while keeping the structure that parsers expect.
BalancedGraduate
Puts education and projects near the top, which helps when your work history is still short.
First jobsExperienced
Built for longer careers, with room to summarise older roles in a line or two.
10+ yearsCareer change
Leads with skills and results rather than job titles, so the move you are making reads clearly.
Switching fieldCompact
Tightens spacing to fit a full history onto two pages without shrinking the text to nothing.
Two pagesBefore you send it anywhere
A tidy template is half the job. The other half is what you write in it. Lead each bullet with a verb, put a number on anything you improved, and use the words the job advert uses where they are honestly true of you.
When the draft is finished, read it once more against the advert. Our guides cover the things that tend to get good applications filtered out, such as a missing summary or achievements with no figures attached.
