CV vs resume - what's the difference?
In the US and Canada, a resume is a 1–2 page summary tailored to a specific job, while a CV is a longer academic document listing publications and research. In Europe, the UK, and most of the world, "CV" simply means what Americans call a resume. This tool builds both - keep it to one or two pages and tailor it per application.
What recruiters look for
- Contact info that works: a professional email address and a LinkedIn URL.
- Reverse-chronological experience - most recent role first, with measurable results ("reduced costs 15%") rather than duty lists.
- Keywords from the job posting - many companies screen CVs with ATS software before a human reads them.
- Consistent formatting: same date format, same tense, no typos. Recruiters spend under 10 seconds on the first pass.
- A photo only where it's customary (much of continental Europe) - omit it for US, UK, and Ireland applications.
Why use this CV maker instead of an online builder with accounts?
Most resume builders require signup, store your personal data on their servers, and lock the PDF download behind a paid plan. This tool is different by design: everything runs in your browser, your data never leaves your device, and the PDF download is free with no watermark. The generated PDF contains real selectable text - not an image - so ATS systems can parse it correctly.
