Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a CV and a resume?+
A CV (Curriculum Vitae) is a comprehensive document covering your full academic and professional history — typically 2–4 pages. A resume is a concise, targeted summary typically limited to 1–2 pages. CVs are standard in the UK, Europe, and academic settings; resumes are more common in North America.
How many pages should a professional CV be?+
Two pages is standard for professionals with 5–15 years of experience. Academic CVs can be much longer. Keep it to one page only if you have fewer than two years of experience.
Should I include a photo on my CV PDF?+
In the UK and US, photos are generally not recommended as they can introduce bias. In Germany, France, and many Middle Eastern countries, a professional headshot is standard. Follow the convention of the country you are applying in.
What sections should a professional CV include?+
Personal details (name, email, phone, LinkedIn), professional summary, work experience (reverse chronological), education, skills, and optionally: publications, certifications, languages, and volunteer work.
How do I save my CV as a PDF without losing formatting?+
Use Tulqr's resume builder — it downloads directly as a formatted PDF. If editing in Word, use File > Save As > PDF or File > Export > PDF to prevent layout changes.
