After starting with your contact information, you should put an introduction, professional experience, education, and relevant professional skills in your CV. But depending on the job you want, you may need to include additional details. For example, if you’re a doctor, you need to include a section highlighting your professional licenses and certifications (all details you can easily put in our CV builder).

If you’re writing a jobseeker CV, you can follow the standard resume format widely used across North America. This structure generally includes a:
However, if you’re writing a specialized CV as a professor, doctor, engineer, or other highly qualified professional, your CV format will look a little different to make room for details like publications, achievements, certifications, and other relevant information.
Having a unique CV for each job you apply for will increase your chances of getting interviews. While you don’t need to fully rewrite your CV every time you send out an application, tailoring your CV to each job ad is crucial if you want to land work soon.
For instance, even if you’re applying for two jobs with the same job title, it’s almost certain that each company is looking for things (skills, personality traits, etc.) the other company is not. If you pull these details from the job description or the company website and work them into your CV, your job hunt will yield better results.
While adjusting your CV for every job application sounds like a headache, our CV builder helps you make these adjustments on the fly and create new, fully-tailored CVs in just minutes.
You should pair your CV with a cover letter every time you submit an application unless the job description specifically says to not include a cover letter.
Now that you know you should probably write your own cover letter, it’s time for the good news:
In addition to our CV generator, we also offer a powerful (and complementary) cover letter builder.
By simply signing up for a Resume Genius account to build your CV, you receive unlimited access to our cover letter builder software. In under ten minutes you can have a matching CV and cover letter and be fully prepared to apply for jobs. But before you get started, check out some cover letter examples to see what type you want to write for your own application.
You should use the CV template you think best reflects both your personality and the formality of the industry you’re in. However, we design every template so that it’s professional enough for any job — so don’t worry, any template you pick in our CV builder can help you land the job you want. Regardless of the template you use, rest easy knowing it’s optimized to showcase your unique professional background and skillset.
