Frequently asked questions
Do I need an account?
No. Fill in your CV and download it straight away. Your details are kept in your browser so you can come back to it.
Should I put a photo on my CV?
It depends on the country. In the US, Canada and the UK it is discouraged; in Germany or the Gulf it is common; in France it is optional. CVflash hides the photo where it is frowned upon.
Will my CV pass applicant tracking systems (ATS)?
Yes. The PDF contains real text, not an image, so screening software can read it. For North American applications, choose the Minimal or Classic template.
What is the difference between a CV and a resume?
In the US and Canada a “resume” is one or two pages with no photo or personal details. CVflash applies that format when you choose those countries.
Can I edit my CV later?
Yes. Come back to CVflash in the same browser and your CV will be waiting. You can switch template or country at any time.
Which languages can my CV be in?
Section titles are available in 10 languages. You write the content in the language of your choice.
