To create a CV with Enhancv, follow these steps:

1. Upload your old CV or select your job title to choose the most suitable CV template.
2. Start editing your CV straight away, or sign up to save your work.
3. Fill in your contact details and a headline for your CV.
4. Drag and drop your CV sections into the best CV format for your situation. Reverse-chronological suits most people. If you're changing careers or just entering the job market, a hybrid or skills-based CV can work better.
5. Write a three- to five-line personal statement tailored to the role, even for your first job.
6. Describe your work experience, starting with your most recent job.
7. Enhancv encourages you to think beyond the standard CV layout. Add extra sections such as your proudest accomplishments, internships, awards, volunteer work, hobbies and interests, certifications, computer skills, soft skills, language skills, or publications.

Only include what's relevant to the job you're applying for. For most people, that fits on two A4 pages, and one page is enough for school leavers and recent graduates. Our guide on what to include in your CV covers the rest.

Hiring managers receive hundreds of CVs per day. To filter out irrelevant ones, many use applicant tracking systems (ATS) that scan CVs for keywords from the job description. However, even without software, a trained HR professional can easily distinguish between a generic and tailored CV.

That's why, when you tailor your CV, you highlight skills and experiences that directly address the company's requirements. Every company is different, and to secure an interview, you need a different CV for each application.

Enhancv makes it easy to duplicate your CV. Try our Tailor for a Job feature, which shows you the keywords from the job description that you haven't used yet.

CV templates give you a starting point. It's fine to start with one as long as you tailor it to the job you're applying for. With Enhancv, you can build your own template or start with one of ours, in modern, simple, creative and photo styles and a wide range of colours. You can customise fonts, margins, layouts, section headings and more. Our CV templates are tested against major applicant tracking systems and shaped around what recruiters look for.

Send a PDF unless the advert asks for Word. PDF keeps your layout identical on every device, and almost all modern ATS read it. When an application portal asks for a .docx file, follow the instruction. With Enhancv, you download your CV as a PDF, and you can also download a text copy to edit in another program.

Yes. Irish employers expect the same CV as UK employers. That means two A4 pages, a personal statement at the top, your most recent job first, and no photo or date of birth. Build it with Enhancv's CV builder, then add the Irish details. Use your Leaving Certificate results in place of A-levels, your town and county instead of a full address, and a +353 phone number.
