1. Choose a template

We have used our more than 15 years of experience in online recruitment to create a bank of templates that are guaranteed to get you noticed. They have a professional look without being over the top and are suitable for any industry, role, or experience level.

These ready made examples have sections for your contact information, personal profile, work experience, skills, and academic achievements.

They come with a readable font size, one-inch margins all the way around, and can be tweaked and formatted to your requirements.

2. Enter your personal information

Start off by filling in the blanks in the labelled text fields with your full name and contact details.

Remember to include your address, email and phone number.

Tips:

  • Double check your spelling, the last thing you want is for a recruiter to be unable to contact you because of a typing error.
  • Don’t write CV or Curriculum Vitae alongside your name.

3. Add a summary with the CV Builder

This is a vital section that sits at the top of the page and is the first thing a recruiter will see.

As such it’s an opening foreword to your CV and should be viewed as an opportunity for you to immediately state who you are, the value you can bring to the position and your career objective.

4. Build on your work experience

Reinforce why you are suitable for the position by giving details of your previous jobs and listing the relevant duties you’ve performed and what you’ve achieved in each post.

Our online CV Maker has laid out boxes for your job title, employers name, location, start/end dates, and duties. You have everything already in place to explain any permanent, temporary, part-time or voluntary roles, along with previously penned content for all types of jobs.

5. Insert your skills

Use our CV Creator to show you have the soft and hard skills needed to justify an interview.

You can find the competencies the recruiter wants in a candidate by reading and deciphering the job advert and then mirroring those keywords or phrases precisely in your CV.

6. Education and academic qualifications

Tailor your CV further by using our Builder to not only give details of your formal education but also any additional training or certifications you may have achieved.

Why use a CV builder?

 

Although the basics of CV writing have pretty much always been the same, a good CV builder can help to optimise it even further for the current recruitment market. It can not only help you save time, but also prompt you to include all of the below key points.

 

Work from home experience

Many public and private sector employees worked from since 2020. If you were one of them then include this in your CV.

 

Add experience and skills gained in 2023

Although this may sound pretty obvious, there are many job seekers who forget get to include any brand new skills they may have recently gained.

 

Online courses

Again, with all that extra time during the Covid lockdown you may have enrolled on a course, if so be sure to include this.

 

Update your personal summary

As this is the first thing a recruiter will read, it’s important that you include any new and relevant competencies in there.

 

Contact information

Make sure this is up to date and has any new phone number or email address.
