FAQ: CV maker

Have questions? We’re here to help.

Since CVs are longer than the average resume, using a CV maker gives you the opportunity to easily enter your work history, your certifications and education, and your professional contact information. The automated process of the ResumeHelp Builder will also make it more convenient to find the appropriate format for a curriculum vitae so you can provide the best overview of your academic and employment history.

Our CV Builder, similar to our free Resume Builder, will come with instructions that walk you through every step of creating a CV, from choosing the best CV templates to filling it in with relevant information that matches the job you’re applying for.

A CV maker is a software or online tool that helps you create a curriculum vitae from scratch, providing you with templates to create, save and download a CV. A CV generator also guides you through the writing process, supplying expert tips and text suggestions to help you fill out your CV. Finally, a CV or online resume builder should give you the option of downloading your CV in a recognized file format, such as MS Word or PDF format.

While many online CV builders offer premium features, the best online resume builder and CV maker will give you the flexibility to revise and add content as you wish, expert advice for filling out each section, and a strong CV and resume template that ensures your document looks its best.

No matter your needs, our CV maker allows you to create and save multiple versions of your CV, and produce a clear, easy-to-read CV every time. Your document should be designed to give potential employers the whole picture in a “top-down” approach with relevant sections highlighted accordingly. To make things easier, consider looking at ResumeHelp’s wide selection of template options.

Yes, you should create a matching cover letter for your CV. The objective of your CV is to showcase the skills you have that can help the company that you are applying to, while also explaining why this particular position would be a good fit for your career path. Your cover letter is your chance to provide the relevant background information surrounding these career highlights so both documents should be similar in relevance content and format.

CV examples and templates from the industries you’re interested in and the ResumeHelp Builder options, along with the Cover Letter Builder, can ensure that both format and flow match on all your documents and they will pass any applicant tracking system (ATS).

The purpose of a professional resume is to showcase your most relevant strengths and get you a new job, while the purpose of a CV is to provide a comprehensive overview of your academic and employment history. While both documents can help you show an employer that you’re qualified for a role, the CV is designed to give hiring managers the whole picture of your career trajectory rather than just the information that pertains directly to the job application.

A CV in the UK, much like a resume in the United States, is a requirement for any open position and assures a potential employer that you’re qualified for the position. If the details and keywords in your resume directly correlate to the job description, there’s a better chance of landing a job interview.

There are some localization differences though, as a CV in the UK is typically two pages and can include job-relevant hobbies and interests. CVs in the United States most commonly refer to a document requested in the academic, entertainment or international fields as they are based on overall experience and not just relevant aspects of a candidate’s work experience.
