Once a consultant’s profile is set up, generating a formatted CV takes a few clicks: pick a template, set the format and language, and download the result.
Prefer to watch instead of read? Here’s the full walkthrough:
Open a profile or click “Generate CV”
Open a consultant profile from your homepage, or click the “Generate CV” button directly next to their name.
Set the category, format, language and profile
In the CV generator, filter templates by category. Then select your output format, PDF or Word, and choose the language of the generated CV. Below that, confirm which consultant profile you want to use.
What categories can I filter templates by?
Personal, European Institutions, or Private Company. You can also switch between private and public templates.
Search for a template by name
If you’re looking for a specific template, type its name directly into the search field to narrow the results.
Select your template
Click on a template to select it. When a green icon appears above it, the template is selected.
Confirm and generate
Scroll down and click “Generate CV.” Depending on the template, you may be asked whether to show a CV summary before the file is created.
Add comments or tags, if prompted
Once the CV is generated and downloaded, you may see a window to add comments, tags, or feedback, depending on the template.
What if I don’t see the comments or feedback window?
It depends on the template. Some templates prompt for comments and tags after generating, others don’t.
Open and check the result
Once you’re done, open the file on your computer and check the result.
