- A CV maker separates your content from the design, so you can switch templates without retyping.
- Core sections: personal details, profile, work experience, education, skills; add languages and certifications for international roles.
- Keep a UK/EU-style CV to 2 pages; academic CVs can be longer.
- Export to PDF and name the file clearly.
What does a CV maker app do?
Instead of wrestling with a word-processor template, you fill in structured fields — job title, employer, dates, bullet points — and the app lays them out in a professionally designed template. Change the template and your content flows into the new design instantly. When you’re done, you export a PDF.

Choosing a CV design
- Conservative fields (banking, law, public sector): single column, minimal colour.
- Creative and tech: two columns, accent colour, skill blocks are fine.
- Applying through online portals: favour simpler layouts — see ATS-friendly resume.
