Frequently asked questions
Every template uses familiar section headings and downloads as selectable text in one reading order, so a screening system reads your CV the way a person does. These are clean layouts designed for ATS readability, not layouts tested against every system on the market.
Yes. Every suggestion is editable, so the final wording stays true to your experience and your voice. CVmotive works with what you have written: it rephrases and reorders, and never adds a role, a date or a result you did not give it.
Yes — a PDF or DOCX under 10 MB. A review reads it and tells you what to improve without an account. An import maps your existing sections, roles and dates straight into the editor.
A paginated PDF that prints exactly what the preview shows, as selectable text in one reading order. There is no Word export.
Yes. The free plan builds one CV in the Minimal or Classic template, with ten PDF downloads and three CV checks a month and no watermark. Pro opens every template and lifts the limits.
Your CV is never made public and is not used to train models. A review you run without an account is deleted after seven days; a CV in your account stays until you delete it, and we delete an account and everything in it on request.
Yes. The guided sections are built to help you decide what to include and how to present it clearly, so you are never looking at an empty page.
Make your next CV easier to read — and easier to remember.
