I utilized Zety’s builder app to the fullest, applying everything I learned, and even added some unique touches the CV software offered. Now, instead of stressing over what keyword or language to use on my CV, I can focus on which job offer to accept.

David Birdsell Jr. Client's avatar

I went from fired to hired in less than 3 weeks. I was let go from my old job due to downsizing. With Zety, I was able to build custom CVs tailored to the jobs I was applying to quickly and easily. My last day was 3/9/18 and I had several offers by 3/25/18. Accepted an excellent job on 3/27/18. I can't thank you guys enough. You really helped save my family from some serious hardship.

Jeanne Client's avatar

I have been actively looking for my first job for about 3 months now and I just came to know about Zety last month. The online CV builder helped me a lot by choosing themes and contents. I was able to land a few interviews after I edited my CV.

What’s the difference between a CV and a resume?

Both terms refer to a job application document, and they are often used interchangeably. However, while a resume is a one- or two-page, condensed version of your career history, a CV will go into more detail. Academic CVs, used when applying for jobs in academia, have no length limit and follow a different format to that of a standard CV or resume. In our resume builder, you can make a resume, a CV, and an academic CV just as easily. Visit our blog to read more about what is a CV and further explore the difference between CVs and resumes.

What should a CV include?

A professional CV should include the following sections:

For more information, check out our article on what to include in a CV.

What’s the best template for a CV?

The best CV templates will look modern, professional, and organized. Contents should be clearly separated into sections to make it easier for the reader to find the information they need. As well as being easy to read for humans, a good CV template should also be ATS-compliant: readable by automated recruitment solutions and software.

Why is it important for a CV to be ATS-friendly?

ATS (Applicant Tracking System) software scans incoming CVs, looking for keywords from the job ad and passing only the most relevant applications to the recruiter. If you use the wrong formatting for your CV, ATS may not be able to read it properly and will reject it. You can boost your chances of getting a positive ATS score by tailoring your resume or CV to every job and using ATS-optimized templates. All of the 18 templates featured in Zety’s CV maker are fully ATS-compliant and ensure your application will pass the test.

What is the best CV format?

In most cases, the best CV format to use is the reverse-chronological one. This means focusing on your work history and listing your jobs in reverse order, i.e. starting with the most recent one. Recruiters are familiar with this layout, ATS systems can process it easily, and it highlights your best, most recent achievements. However, if you’re changing careers or don’t want to address gaps in employment, you could consider writing a skills-based CV. This format goes into detail about your key professional skills, providing just the most basic information about your employment history. Regardless of which format you choose, your CV length stays the same: one page if possible, two if absolutely necessary.

Does the Zety online CV maker come with CV examples?

In the CV maker, there are pre-written phrases you can drag and drop onto your document. You can also browse our collection of 100+ full CV examples, completely for free. Alongside CVs for specific jobs, you can also see examples of career-change CVs, military-to-civilian CVs, student CVs, and many more. Each CV example comes with a writing guide to help you land your dream job!

Can you help me write my CV?

Sure! Although we don’t offer a CV writing service, we do provide expert hints, step-by-step CV writing guides, and pre-written phrases in the CV maker. The app also comes with spell-check and a Resume Score feature, which allows you to see how you compare to other applicants in your industry and gives you tips on how to further improve your CV and get ahead of your competition. If you already have a CV, you can upload it into the CV maker. The app will automatically transfer your content to a new CV template, providing advice for targeted improvements along the way.

Does the Zety CV maker help with cover letters as well?

Absolutely. Just pick a cover letter template that matches your CV design and follow the in-app instructions to have a job-winning cover letter ready in no time. The CV maker features a cover letter generator that pretty much writes your letter for you. You can also visit our career blog to learn how to write a cover letter from scratch, how to address a cover letter and who it should be to, what to include in your cover letter, and much more.

Do I need to download or learn anything to use the Zety CV maker?

Nothing at all: everything happens online. Unlike with Word CV templates, for instance, you don’t need any special software on your computer to edit and download Zety CV templates. The process itself is incredibly simple, too—CV design in the Zety app is highly intuitive and easy even for those not used to working with computers.

Can I make more than one CV?

You definitely can: in fact, you should target every job application to the role, so it’s recommended that you make a separate CV for each job you apply for. The Zety CV maker allows you to store unlimited CVs in the cloud for quick and easy editing on any compatible device.

Is the Zety CV maker free to use?

You are free to create as many CVs as you need in the Zety CV maker. The app follows the “try before you buy” credo—you pay once you’re satisfied with the results. If you'd like to download a printable CV as a PDF or MS Word .doc file, you need to opt for a paid plan.
