Build, tailor, and publish your resume

Use this guide when you are new to CV Tricks or want to create a focused version for a specific role.

1

Start with a target role

Create a job title first. Each title can have its own resume, selected content, visual style, and public link. In the Resume Builder, use the role dropdown to load that role’s saved version.

Add content and use tags

Add skills, projects, experience, education, certificates, and languages in their own pages. Tags connect a role to relevant content.

Give the same tag to a role and an item. Matching items are suggested in the builder; more shared tags means a stronger suggestion. Choose whether an item is always included, suggested by tags, or manual only.

Arrange sections and icons

In Resume Sections you can show or hide a section, move it between the sidebar and main area, change its order, and choose a sidebar icon. Custom sections can hold your own fields and items.

Keep the contact section near the top. Use custom sections only for information that does not fit skills, projects, experience, or education.

Choose style, color, and readable typography

The builder includes ready-made color packs. Use one strong accent color, keep contrast high, and avoid small text. The resume uses a clean professional font automatically; use short headings and plain text for the best PDF result.

  • Use concise bullet points and short project descriptions.
  • Keep dates and links accurate.
  • Preview before publishing to catch empty or overly long sections.

Save, edit, and publish

Previewing or generating a PDF saves the selected content for the current role. Open Saved Resumes to continue editing, publish a version, or open its public link.
