A CV builder made by someone who reads yours
I read more than 500 CVs a week. This is the simple, no-noise format that reads well for a busy recruiter and parses cleanly for the ATS in front of them.
The thinking behind it
Your CV should look like everyone else's
A recruiter reads 200 to 1,000 CVs for a single role. They don't slow down for an original layout. A sidebar, icons, a section you renamed: each one costs a few seconds to get their bearings, and over hundreds of CVs they stop trying. The CVs that get read look almost the same, on purpose. Save the originality for the content.
The more complex the CV, the more it gets lost
Build a CV with your own structure and you make life harder for everyone after you. The ATS tries to guess which block is your experience and which is decoration, and gets it wrong. The recruiter looks for what matters, doesn't find it where they expect, and moves on. Standard headings, things where people expect them. Your career stands out, not your formatting.
What this tool does
One column, standard headings, real selectable text, one page. As you fill it in, you get tips from someone who reads CVs all day, on what to keep and what to cut. Everything saves in your browser, so closing the tab loses nothing. Free, no watermark.
Questions
Is it really free?+
Yes. No paywall, no signup, no watermark on the PDF. The email step before downloading is optional: skip it and the PDF still downloads.
Where is my data stored?+
In your browser, on your machine. Nothing is sent to a server. Close the tab and come back later, your work is still there. Clear your browser data and it's gone.
Will my CV pass the ATS?+
It uses the choices ATS parsers handle best: a single column, standard section headings, real selectable text. No tool can promise 100%, every ATS is set up differently, but this is the safest format.
One page or two?+
One. The tool warns you when you spill onto a second page. Long career? Trim the oldest role or the bullets that don't earn their place. A tight page beats a padded one.
Can I import from LinkedIn?+
Yes. Export your profile as a PDF (Profile, then More, then Save to PDF) and drop it in the import box at the top. The tool fills in what it can. Always review the result, LinkedIn's export format is messy.
