Common CV FAQs

• Can I save my progress and come back later? Currently, the free version generator doesn´t have a save feature. We recommend completing your cover letter in one session. However, you can copy the preview text to save your progress externally.
• How long should my CV be? Typically 2 pages, no more than 3 pages for extensive experience.
• Do I need to list all my work experience? Focus on relevant and recent experience, summarizing older roles if necessary.
• How far back should my work history go? Typically 10-15 years, unless older experience is highly relevant.
• Should I include references on my CV? Not necessary; "References available upon request" is sufficient.
• How do I handle employment gaps? Be honest and explain briefly if possible, focusing on any skills gained during the gap.
• How do I tailor my CV for different jobs? Customize skills and experiences to match job requirements, using relevant keywords.

Best Practices

• Use clear headings and consistent formatting throughout.
• List education and work experience in reverse chronological order.
• Use bullet points to highlight key responsibilities and achievements.
• Quantify achievements where possible (e.g., "increased sales by 25percent").
• Include relevant skills, both hard and soft.
• Tailor your CV for each job application, focusing on relevant skills and experiences.
• Tailoring is Key: The number of skills should align with the job description. Mirror the terminology from the job ad to describe your skills.
• Relevance: Only include skills relevant to the role. A recruiter will likely skim through your resume.
• Skills Section: Optimize your skills section for applicant tracking systems (ATS) by making it keyword-rich.
• Balance: Present yourself as a well-rounded candidate by balancing both hard and soft skills.
• Distribution: Ensure the required skills appear throughout your CV, especially in the "Career History" section.
• Proofread carefully to avoid spelling and grammar errors.
• Use action verbs to describe your experiences and achievements.
• Keep your CV updated regularly.
