Frequently asked questions

Is it really free? Do I need an account?

Yes, it is free with no sign-up and no watermark. Your CV is saved in your browser, and you can save it to a file to edit it later on another device.

Is my information uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything stays on your device; the PDF is created by your own browser.

Will applicant tracking systems (ATS) read my CV?

Yes. The PDF contains real text, not an image, with standard headings. The Classic template is the safest choice for online job portals.

How is the CV score calculated?

It checks what recruiters look for: complete contact details, a short profile, bullet points that start with action verbs and include numbers, enough skills, no clichés, correct dates and a length of one to two pages.

Should I add a photo?

In Sri Lanka, India, the Middle East and much of Europe a professional photo is common. For jobs in the UK, US, Canada and Australia leave it out.

How long should a CV be?

One page for students and up to about 5 years of experience, two pages for more. The checker warns you when it gets too short or too long.
