How Do I Make a CV on My Phone?

Here’s how to make a CV on your phone:

1. Download a word-processing app

If you don’t have a word-processing app on your phone already, we suggest using either Google Docs (free) or Microsoft Word (paid). Here’s where you can download them:

2. Write your CV on the app

Include your name and contact information in your CV’s header, followed by sections for your personal statement, work experience, education, skills, and hobbies & interests. To simplify the process, download a CV template and fill in your information.

After you make your CV on your phone, re-check it for errors. Typing on a small screen is difficult, so be extra careful when you proofread your CV.

When you’re ready to email your CV, just follow the appropriate instructions below:

If you don’t have time to learn how to write a good CV from scratch, you can also build a CV on your phone using a CV maker. Simply input your information and the builder software will set out a professional CV for you.
