How Do I Create a CV on My Phone?

To create a CV document on your phone, follow these steps:

1. Install a word-processing app

If you don't already have one, try using Google Docs (free) or Microsoft Word (paid). Here’s where to download Google Docs or Microsoft Word to your phone:

• Google Docs for iOS
• Google Docs for Android
• Microsoft Word for iOS
• Microsoft Word for Android

2. Prepare a CV with the app

Start with your name and contact details at the top. Then, add CV sections for your personal statement, work experience, education, key skills, and additional information. To make it easier, use a ready-made Word CV template or Google Docs CV template and fill in your details.

3. Proofread your CV

After drafting your CV, carefully proofread for errors. Typing on a small screen can lead to mistakes, so take extra care during this step. 

4. Use a clear filename

Ensure your CV has a professional filename that’s easy to understand (e.g., your-name-CV).

5. Email your CV

When ready, download your CV or share a link to the document via email.

Alternatively, you can use a dedicated CV builder to streamline the whole process. Simply enter your information, and the app will generate a professional CV for you.
