It is well-known, that when it comes to looking for a job, one has to create a CV and send it to recruiters. In some sources a CV is called a “marketing document/ tool which gives you an opportunity to sell your abilities to employees” (see external links below). Being picked for an interview depends on one’s CV/ Resume’s quality as well. Seems like we should spend hours for creating that… Are there any ways which will let us do it for a few minutes? Here will be represented some tools which can make creating a CV easier.
- Europass: CVs by Europass are widely accepted by most of educational institutions in Europe (applying for scholarships, educational programs/courses, etc.). One will have to create a profile, enter the necessary information, and then create a CV. The new version of Europass has three CV templates (see below).
- Google Docs. Templates by Google Docs are recommended by HRs. These are simple and well-organized. You must have a Google account to have access to Google templates. Now, let’s look at these.
I would recommend to download them in PDF format in order to get the file in the exact same shape.
- MS Word offers CV templates as well. If you are a Windows 7 (or an older version) user, don’t worry, you can create a CV using Microsoft’s Website. Here are some templates my MS Word:
- Canva. In my opinion, templates by Canva can be useful for graphic designers, artists, and for those who are looking for a job in similar fields, since they are pretty colorful. It is recommended to abstain using bright colors for creating a resume if you are not an artist, designer, etc… The safest resume color scheme is considered using white, black, and a third (I’d prefer to use blue or gray) color. Let’s have a look at some templates by Canva.
Besides the tools mentioned above, there are plenty of other resume builders (resumecoach, novoresume, zety, resumegenious, etc.) as well. Have you ever created a CV using any templates? If yes, which one do you prefer?
