Want more control? The full CV maker puts everything on one page, with three layouts, colours, a photo, skill levels, extra sections you can reorder, fit to one page and a Word download.

Nothing leaves your device. Everything you type stays in this browser tab. We don't see it, store it or send it anywhere.

How would you like to fill it in? Step by step All on one page

About you

Only your name and one way to contact you are really needed. You don't need to give your full address; a city or area is enough.

Full name Job title or headlineFor example "Customer service assistant" or "Nursing student" Email Phone City or area Website or profile linkOptional, for example a LinkedIn profile

Summary

Two to four sentences: who you are, what you are good at and what kind of work you want. Write it for the job you are applying for.

Personal summary

Work experience

Put your most recent job first. Part-time work, volunteering, internships and work you did in another country all count. Write each task or result on its own line.

Education and training

Most recent first. Add courses and certificates too. If your qualification is from another country, you can add what it is roughly equal to where you are applying, if you know it.

Skills and languages

One skill per line, or separate them with commas. Pick the ones the job advert asks for.

SkillsFor example "Customer service", "Microsoft Excel", "Forklift licence" LanguagesFor example "English (fluent)", "Bangla (native)"

Anything else

Optional. Add a section only if it helps you get this job.

Section headingFor example "Volunteering", "Achievements" or "Interests"

Section textEach line becomes a point Add the line "References available on request"

Check and save your CV

Read it once more for spelling, check your email and phone number, and keep it to one or two pages. To save it as a PDF, choose Print and then Save as PDF as the printer.

Tips for a clear CV

Keep it short. One page is often enough for a first job; two pages at most for most jobs.
Match the job advert. Use the same words for skills and duties that the advert uses, if they are true for you.
Show results. "Served about 80 customers a day" says more than "Served customers".
Check what is usual where you apply. What employers expect (for example a photo, your date of birth or the page length) differs between countries. Official job services, like the ones below, explain what is usual in their country.
Send a PDF unless the employer asks for another format, and give the file your name, for example Amina-Rahman-CV.pdf.
