What makes a CV that gets interviews
Lead with results. "Cut delivery time by 30%" says more than "responsible for deliveries". Use numbers wherever you can.
Match the advert. Use the same words the job advert uses for skills and qualifications, so the recruiter (and their software) can see the fit.
Keep it short. One page for graduates, two pages for most experienced people. Put the most recent job first.
Make it easy to reach you. A professional email, a phone number you answer, and your town. Personal details like your ID number usually aren't needed.

Questions
Is the CV builder free?
Yes. Building, editing and downloading your CV is free. You just need a free JobsToGrab account to download, so your CV is saved safely and you can open it on any device.
Why do I need an account to download?
Your account keeps a copy of your CV, so you can come back to edit it, open it on another phone or computer, and download it again at any time. Creating one takes less than a minute.
Where is my CV saved?
While you work, on your own device. When you sign in, a copy is saved in your JobsToGrab account. You can delete your CV and your account at any time from your account page.
How do I download my CV as a PDF?
Click "Download PDF". Your browser's print window opens: choose "Save as PDF" as the destination (on Android, tap the printer name and pick "Save as PDF"), then save.
Which templates work best with online application systems (ATS)?
Every template produces a PDF with real, selectable text. The templates marked "ATS-friendly" (such as Clarity, Essence, Pathway and Launch) use a simple one-column layout that application systems read most reliably.
Can I change template after I start?
Yes. Switch template, colour, font and text size at any time. Your details stay exactly as they are, and you can preview your own CV in every template before choosing.
Should I put a photo on my CV?
Only if the job advert asks for one. Many employers prefer no photo, and international organisations usually ask you not to include one. Templates marked "Photo optional" can show one.
Can someone write my CV for me?
Yes. If you'd rather have an expert do it, request our professional CV writing service.
