ATS-friendly CV maker

What makes a CV ATS-friendly

Most large employers and recruitment agencies in the Gulf screen CVs with an applicant tracking system (ATS) before a person reads them. These systems read text, not pictures, and work best with a single column, standard headings such as Work Experience and Education, and plain bullet points. Every template here is built that way: the PDF contains real, selectable text, there are no tables, text boxes or icons hiding information, and dates sit next to each job. Use the same words as the job advert in your skills and achievements so the system matches them.

CV examples by profession

Not sure what to write? Pick your profession above the form and the CV maker fills in a job title, a professional summary, the skills employers and applicant tracking systems look for, and example bullet points for your latest job. Every number is left as [X] so you add your own results; nothing is invented about you. Examples are available in English and Arabic for:

• Accountant
• Teacher
• Nurse
• Driver
• Sales executive
• Customer service
• Receptionist
• Administrative assistant
• HR
• Civil engineer
• Mechanical engineer
• Electrical engineer
• Software developer
• IT support
• Cashier
• Security guard
• Electrician
• Chef or cook
• Pharmacist
• Marketing
• Project manager
• Storekeeper
• Fresher (first job)

CV formats for freshers, experienced staff and career changers

Choose a CV type and the page reorders itself; the content you typed stays the same.

• Experienced: summary, then work experience with the newest job first, then education. The standard reverse-chronological CV most Gulf recruiters expect.
• Fresher or student: education and skills move above experience, so a degree, training and projects are seen first. List internships, volunteering and part-time work as experience.
• Career change: skills and certifications move to the top, followed by experience, so the reader sees what transfers to the new field before older job titles.

UAE and Gulf CV format

A Gulf CV usually adds a few details that would be left out in the UK or US: nationality, current visa or residence status (for example transferable, or a visit visa), notice period and driving licence, which matter because they affect how quickly you can join. A photo and date of birth are still common but optional; add them only if the advert asks. Keep the CV to one or two pages, put your most recent job first, and give each job three to five achievements with numbers where you can.

Arabic CV

Choose Arabic as the CV language and every heading, date and label switches to Arabic with right-to-left layout, while the content is whatever you type. Many Saudi and government employers ask for an Arabic CV, and some candidates send both. Keep company names, certifications and software as they are officially written, and check the Arabic text carefully or ask a native speaker to review it before you apply.

Free means free
