FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


WHY IS CV GENIUS THE TOP-RATED FREE CV MAKER AVAILABLE ONLINE?

CV Genius is the top-rated free CV maker online because it allows you to:

 * Pick your favourite CV template from a selection of modern and traditional
   designs
 * Create a full-length CV no matter your skill set, experience level, or
   professional or personal background
 * Download, edit, and print your CV in formats including Word, PDF, Google
   Docs, LibreOffice, and TXT


IS IT OKAY TO USE A CV TEMPLATE?

It’s more than okay to use a CV template. A CV template saves you lots of time
by providing you with a pre-formatted CV that you simply download to your
computer or device and fill in with your own details. Be sure to learn how to
write a CV before editing your download though, or your finalised CV might lack
important details.

Online CV templates should be compatible with applicant tracking systems (ATS) —
software that scans CVs and cover letters for keywords. Graphics, uncommon file
formats, and rare fonts can prevent the ATS from reading your CV properly. So
we’ve made sure you have a library of ATS-friendly CV templates at your disposal
as you hunt for the job of your dreams.


WHICH CV BUILDER TEMPLATE SHOULD I USE?

Our CV builder templates are designed to be suitable for any job, no matter what
your background is. But keep these guidelines in mind when choosing a template:

 * Use a traditional CV design for jobs in law firms, banks, and the civil
   service because these employers tend to be more conservative
 * For creative roles, like graphic design, event planning, and fashion, feel
   free to select a more creative CV template


WHAT MAKES A GOOD CV?

Here’s what makes a good CV:

 * Your contact details should be presented clearly, including your name in a
   large font, your mobile phone number, and your email address. Leave off your
   date of birth, nationality, sex, and marital status.
 * A strong CV personal statement that highlights your most relevant
   achievements, skills, and qualifications for the job.
 * A list of skills that includes the abilities mentioned in the job advert so
   that employers can see you meet the requirements for the position.
 * A comprehensive work experience section that outlines your achievements at
   your current and most recent jobs. Focus on achievements rather than duties
   because achievements impress employers more. Add hard numbers to your bullet
   points to show recruiters what you’re capable of.
 * Your educational accomplishments, including any degrees you hold, your
   A-Levels, and GCSEs or equivalents (for example, International Baccalaureate,
   Scottish Highers, and vocational qualifications).
 * 


DO I NEED A MATCHING COVER LETTER FOR MY CV?

Yes, you do need a matching cover letter for your CV. Format your cover letter
the same as you formatted your CV. That means:

 * using the same font and font size on your cover letter and CV
 * highlighting your name in the same way (font size, colour)
 * applying the same formatting (margins, lines, line spacing)

If you don’t know how to write a cover letter or think it’s too much hard work,
speed up the process with a cover letter builder.

Any CV template you find on this website has a matching cover letter template
you can use to save time and create a visually consistent application.


SHOULD I USE A DIFFERENT CV FOR EVERY JOB?

Yes, you should use a different CV for every job. Adjusting your CV for each job
shows employers you understand what they’re looking for in candidates.

At a minimum, use the company’s name in your cover letter and CV personal
statement, include keywords from the job advert in your CV, and write something
in your cover letter about why you especially want to work for the company or
that shows you know something about the company’s goals or history.
