Build a clear, relevant, ATS-friendly CV.
Build my CVStart with the target role
Review several relevant job descriptions. Identify recurring responsibilities, tools, and outcomes, then select evidence from your real experience. Never copy a requirement you cannot defend.
Use a readable structure
Keep contact details, summary, experience, skills, and education easy to find. Use clear headings, selectable text, comfortable spacing, and a predictable reading order.
Turn duties into evidence
Explain context, action, and outcome. Use verified numbers when available; scope, frequency, quality, deadlines, and stakeholders can also demonstrate impact.
Tailor and test
Adjust priorities and terminology for each role. Check spelling, dates, links, mobile readability, PDF text selection, and alignment with the job before applying.
Frequently asked questions
Should every application use the same CV?
No. Keep an accurate master version and tailor the summary, evidence order, and relevant keywords.
Is one page always better?
No. One or two readable pages are preferable to a crowded document.
