Making a CV with a photo.

Make a CV with your photo at the top, as a PDF with real text or a Word file, in your browser; your photo is read on your device, not uploaded.

A plain résumé: the name Asha Verma, a headline, and Experience and Education headings

In many countries a CV is expected to have a photo.

Your photo.

Add a PNG or JPEG; it is made smaller on your device and placed at the top right, about the size of a passport photo.

CV or résumé.

The words mean much the same in many places; send a CV with a photo where it is expected, and a plain résumé to job websites.

PDF and Word.

Both are made from the same details; the PDF's text is read back before it is offered.
