Do I need to make a new CV every time I apply for a new job?

You should update your CV every time you apply for a new job.

Updating your CV enables you to make sure that your most recent and relevant qualifications stand out to the employer. It also gives you the opportunity to tailor your CV to the specific job you’re applying for, which will increase your chances of success.

However, you don’t need to create a new CV entirely. Simply tweaking your current CV to ensure its contents are fresh and relevant is more than enough. You can use a CV checker to identify specific areas for improvement.

Can I make a CV with no experience?

Yes, you can absolutely make a CV with no experience.

If you’re using our builder to make a CV for your first job, add additional sections that showcase your informal experience and achievements. Our builder allows you to add volunteering experience, awards, and various other types of experience that can boost your CV when you don’t have work experience.

Should I put a photo on my CV?

No, you shouldn’t put a photo on your CV. Employers rarely need to see what you look like. Some employers even avoid photo CVs because they can lead to hiring bias.

The only time you’d include a photo on a CV is if you’re applying for an acting or modelling role, where your appearance is relevant to the job.

Is the CV Genius CV maker free?

The CV Genius CV maker is free to use. You can also download as many CVs as you like in TXT format.

To access some of the builder’s premium features, including the option to download your finished CV as a PDF or Microsoft Word file (.docx), you’ll need to pay a small fee.
