What does CV do?
CV is a free, browser-based curriculum vitae builder that creates a polished, education-first CV in minutes. Unlike a resume, which emphasizes work experience, a CV places your academic background at the center — ideal for academic roles, research positions, and international applications. You fill in your personal details, education, experience, and publications, then print the finished CV to PDF.
Common uses
- Students and academics preparing a CV for university applications, fellowships, or research roles
- Recent graduates highlighting education and coursework when work experience is limited
- Researchers documenting publications, presentations, and academic appointments
- International job seekers who need a detailed, education-first document for employers abroad
Key features
- Education-first layout — the template places your degrees, institutions, and academic achievements at the top, before work history
- Live preview — see your CV update on screen as you type, with no back-and-forth formatting
- Print to PDF — generate a clean, standard PDF using your browser's print dialog
How it works
Open the CV Maker and fill in your details: personal contact information, education history with degrees and dates, work and research experience, publications, and skills. The education-first template organizes these sections automatically, and the live preview updates as you type. When you are satisfied, print to PDF for a shareable, print-ready document.
