Questions
Is this CV builder free in the UK?
Yes. You can build your CV and download a PDF for free with a small footer line. Paid passes remove the footer and are paid once.
Does it use British spelling?
The editor doesn’t change your spelling: your text stays exactly as you write it. For UK employers, use British spelling such as organise and programme.
Should my UK CV have a photo?
Usually not. UK settings leave the photo off; you can turn it on if a job ad asks for one.
Can I apply in Ireland with the same settings?
Yes. Ireland follows very similar conventions: A4, no photo and a short personal profile.
