If you’re writing your first Curriculum Vitae or changing career, it’s worth spending more time tailoring the content. A strong CV isn’t simply about filling in sections: your experience, skills and achievements should be relevant to the job you want.

Yes. You can import an existing CV and use its content as the starting point for your new CV, rather than rebuilding everything from scratch.

This is useful if you want to update an older CV, edit its content or move your information into a different professional template before applying for a new position.

No. That’s one of the main advantages of using an online CV builder.

CV Creator takes care of the structure and presentation of your document. Choose your preferred design, add your information and use the CV editor to make changes while the builder handles the formatting.

You don’t need to create columns, adjust margins or spend time trying to keep everything aligned. This lets you focus on writing a CV that’s relevant to the job you’re targeting.

The exact content depends on your experience and the position you’re applying for, but most UK CVs should include:

• contact details;
• a short personal profile;
• work experience;
• education and qualifications;
• relevant skills.

You can also add sections such as languages, certifications, projects, volunteering or interests when they strengthen your application. The key is to keep your CV relevant to the job you’re applying for rather than adding information simply to fill the page.

Yes. Once you’re happy with the result, you can download your CV as a PDF.

PDF is a practical format for job applications because it preserves your CV’s layout and formatting when the recruiter opens the document on another computer or device.

Always check the vacancy before applying, as an employer may specify a particular file type. You can learn more about structure and presentation in our CV format guide.

Our CVs use clear layouts, readable typography and well-defined sections to help Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) identify the information in your CV.

But the design is only part of an ATS-friendly CV. Your content matters too. In particular, you should:

• use clear job titles and section headings;
• include skills and terminology relevant to the vacancy;
• describe your experience accurately;
• tailor your CV to the position rather than sending the same version everywhere.

No CV builder can guarantee that a candidate will pass an ATS, but good structure and relevant content give your CV a stronger foundation. Read our CV layout guide for more advice on formatting and readability.

Yes. CV Creator can be used on mobile, tablet and desktop, so you don’t need to be sitting at a computer to work on your CV.

You can create, edit and preview your CV online directly from your device, then return to it later if you need to make more changes.

Yes. CV Creator includes AI writing assistance to help when you’re unsure how to describe your experience or formulate parts of your CV.

For example, it can help turn basic information about a role into a clearer professional description. You remain in control of the final content: review every suggestion and only keep information that accurately reflects your real experience and skills.

The terms CV builder, CV maker and CV editor are often used for very similar online tools. A CV builder usually guides you through creating the document step by step, while an editor focuses more on changing existing content and presentation.

CV Creator combines both approaches. You can build a new CV from a template, import an existing CV, edit individual sections, preview the result and download the finished document as a PDF.
