How to write a CV that gets interviews

Six habits that make a CV easier to shortlist, especially for remote roles.

Lead with a short profile

Two or three sentences on who you are, your strongest skills and the kind of role you want. It is the first thing a recruiter reads.

Show results, not duties

Start bullet points with a verb and add a number where you can: "Cut support response time by 40%" says more than "Responsible for support".

Tailor it to each job

Mirror the skills and words in the job description, so both the recruiter and the applicant tracking system see the match.

Make remote work visible

If you have worked remotely, say so: async communication, documentation and working across time zones are what remote employers look for.

Keep it easy to scan

Use consistent dates, short bullet points and one or two pages. A clean single column is the safest choice for automated screening.

Check the details

Proofread, use a professional email address and make sure your links work. Save the PDF with your name in the file name.

Frequently asked questions

Is the CV builder really free?

Yes. Every design, the PDF download and any number of edits are free, with no trial, watermark or sign-up.

Do I need an account?

No. Your CV is saved in this browser as you type, so you can close the page and carry on later on the same device. Nothing is uploaded to our servers.

Will applicant tracking systems be able to read my CV?

Yes. The PDF contains real text rather than an image, so ATS software can read your name, roles and skills. For the strictest systems, the Classic, Minimal and Compact designs keep to a single column.

What is the difference between a CV and a resume?

In the UK, Europe and much of the world a CV is the one- or two-page document you send with a job application, which in the US and Canada is called a resume. This builder makes both: choose US Letter or A4 paper to suit the country you are applying in.

Should I add a photo?

It depends on the country. Photos are common on CVs in much of Europe, Asia and Latin America, but in the US, Canada and the UK they are usually left out to avoid bias. Seven of the designs have a place for a photo; the others never show one.

How long should my CV be?

One page is enough for most people with under ten years of experience; two pages suit longer careers. Recruiters skim first, so keep the most relevant roles near the top and describe results rather than duties.
