CVAPP Tool
The cv creation tool is great and easy to use, although I had to pay to export. Also I couldnt add seperate pages but I ended up adding a custom section with empty spaces to create a seperate page

Excellent tool
Excellent tool, I have the paid for version as the free version is limited and did not have access to the sections I wanted. It is well worth the money! Strongly recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a CV?
A CV is a summary of your professional background, including any skills, responsibilities, awards, accomplishments, or qualifications relevant to the role you're applying for. Employers will look at your CV to help determine if you're the right person for the role. A strong CV can open doors to interviews and career opportunities. Learn more in this article.
What is the difference between a CV and a resume?
While Kiwis often use 'CV' and 'resume' interchangeably, there are some key differences. Think of a resume as a brief snapshot of your skills and experience. It's like a highlight reel of your career! A CV, on the other hand, is a more comprehensive document that covers your entire career journey in greater detail. For most jobs in New Zealand, either format is generally acceptable, but we recommend opting for a CV to give employers a more complete picture of your qualifications and career history. Learn more in this article.
How do I choose the right CV template?
Picking the perfect CV template is like choosing the right outfit – it needs to suit the occasion and show you at your best. When applying for jobs in creative fields, think bold fonts, interesting layouts, and a splash of colour. For more traditional industries like finance or law, a clean and professional template is the way to go. No matter what CV template you choose, avoid overly busy designs or excessive colours and graphics that might overshadow your professional experience. Your CV format also matters! These formats include: Chronological: This classic format lists your work experience in reverse chronological order, and it's a great option if you have a consistent career history and want to showcase your career progression. Functional: If you're a career changer or have gaps in your work history, a functional CV might be best. This format focuses on your skills and abilities rather than your chronological work experience. Combination: This format blends the best of both worlds, highlighting both your skills and your career history. This format can be adapted to suit various situations and career paths. Need more inspiration? Explore our exclusive collection of CV templates to find the perfect fit. Learn more in this article.
How far back should a CV go?
Your CV should focus on the most relevant parts of your career, typically going back over the last 5-15 years. Older jobs can be briefly mentioned or left out if they're not relevant to the roles you're applying for. It's important to keep your CV concise, highlighting your most relevant skills and achievements to help capture the attention of employers. Learn more in this article.
What does an ATS-friendly CV mean?
Beat the Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) and get your CV noticed by employers! The ATS is used by companies to screen and filter CVs. To improve your chances of getting noticed, keep your CV simple, use keywords from the job description, and choose a standard font. Avoid tables, images, or unusual file formats, and save your CV as a .docx or PDF. Use our professional, expert-approved CV templates to create your ATS-friendly CV now and increase your chances of landing an interview!
What CV file format can I download in?
Download your CV in the format that works best for you. Choose from .docx or PDF formats, both widely accepted by employers. While a direct Google Docs download isn't available, you can easily upload a .docx file to Google Drive and edit it there. Learn more about downloading options in the CV builder.
Is it worth paying for a CV builder?
Yes! A strong CV is crucial in today's competitive job market, and paying for a professional CV builder can help get you noticed by employers. Our free CV builder comes up with the Vancouver template, which is a good option if you have budget constraints. However, upgrading unlocks powerful features like professional templates, advanced customisation, and AI-powered suggestions, all designed to increase your chances of getting hired. If you're serious about your career, consider upgrading to a paid plan.
Should I make a different CV for every job application?
Yes. Tailoring your CV for each job application is a must! Employers are looking for candidates who can effectively highlight their most relevant skills and experience. By tailoring your CV to the job description, you can help demonstrate that you're a perfect fit for the job role. With our CV builder, you can duplicate existing CVs, paste the new job listing link, and receive expert advice to help you craft a job-winning CV.
