How to write a CV that gets read

  1. Personal profile. Three sentences: what you do, your strongest proof, what you want next. Skip “hard-working team player”; everyone writes it.
  2. Employment history. Most recent first. Job title, employer, town, month and year. Under each, three to six achievements that start with a verb and include a result.
  3. Education. Degree, class and university. Add A-levels or equivalents only if you are early in your career.
  4. Skills. Specific and checkable: software, languages with level (use CEFR, e.g. “German B2”), licences, certifications.
  5. Save as PDF unless the advert asks for Word, and name the file with your name, e.g. priya-shah-cv.pdf.

Questions people ask

Is this CV maker free?

Yes, completely. Build, edit and download your CV as a PDF with no account, no watermark and no trial.

What should a UK CV include?

Contact details, a short personal profile, employment history in reverse-chronological order, education and qualifications, and skills. Leave out your photo, date of birth, marital status and nationality; UK employers do not expect them and the Equality Act 2010 discourages decisions based on them.

How long should a CV be?

Two sides of A4 is the UK norm for most people. Graduates and school leavers can fit on one page. Academic and medical CVs are longer because they list publications, grants and rotations.

Should I write “References available on request”?

No. Employers assume it and the line wastes space. Have two referees ready and supply them when asked.

Is a CV the same as a resume?

In the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, yes: “CV” is the everyday word. In the US and Canada a CV means a long academic record. See our CV vs resume guide for the full breakdown.
