The CV Generator turns a structured form into a finished, ready-to-send CV that you preview live and download as a PDF, all inside your browser. You fill in sections most employers expect to see, a personal statement, work experience, education, and a skills list, and the layout updates as you type so you can see exactly what a recruiter will receive. In the UK the words CV and resume mean the same thing, so the same document works whether a listing asks for a curriculum vitae or a resume. There is no account to create and no template store to browse before you can start typing.
Use it when you are applying for a specific role and want a clean, predictable document fast rather than wrestling with a word processor's spacing and page breaks. It suits graduates writing a first one-page CV, career changers reframing their history, and anyone updating an old file they have lost the source of. Because most UK employers expect a CV of no more than two pages, the generator favours a compact reverse-chronological layout that keeps your most recent and relevant experience near the top, where it is read first. Tailor the content to each job description rather than sending one identical file everywhere.
Under the hood the tool builds your CV in the browser from the fields you complete, then renders the same content to PDF using your device's print engine, so what you preview is what downloads. It deliberately uses a single-column, standard-heading layout ("Work experience", "Education", "Skills") and avoids text boxes, sidebars and graphics, the elements that applicant tracking systems most often fail to parse. The output is selectable text, not an image, which means an ATS and a human recruiter can both read every line. Fonts and spacing are kept within the readable 10.5 to 12 point range that fits two pages comfortably.
Privacy is straightforward: everything you enter, your name, contact details and job history, stays on your own device. The CV is assembled and exported locally, so your personal data is not uploaded to a server, stored in an account, or shared with third parties. Nothing leaves the browser unless you choose to save or send the finished PDF yourself. One accuracy note: the tool formats and structures whatever you give it but does not verify dates, job titles or qualifications, so proofread the preview carefully before you download and send, because a CV's credibility rests on the facts being correct.
