Your CV changes as your work changes. You may be applying for your first role, moving into a different field or updating a document you last used years ago. CV Builder by Agilecode gives you a place to prepare those details, compare layouts and keep versions for different applications.
The app runs in your browser. You can begin a draft before signing in, see the actual PDF preview as you work and choose from 17 city-named templates.
Starting your first CV
If your work history is short, education, placements, projects and volunteer experience can help explain what you have learned and done. CV Builder includes separate sections for education, skills, projects, certifications and languages. You can put the most relevant sections near the top instead of leaving space for information you do not yet have.
Start with the details you can verify: course names, dates, practical work and the tools you know how to use. A clear example of something you completed is more useful than a long list of general qualities. The CV writing guide explains how to organise the information and write each section.
Applying for a different kind of role
A change of role often calls for a different emphasis. A customer service role might benefit from examples of handling enquiries and solving problems. An operations role might need more detail about scheduling, stock records or supplier coordination. Use your own experience to show the connection.
In CV Builder, you can reorder the main sections and edit the points under each job. Keep the dates and facts accurate while making the relevant work easier to find. You do not need to use every available section.
Keeping a version for each application
When you have a saved CV, duplicate it before preparing a version for another role. This gives you a separate document to adjust without replacing the version you already used. Give each CV a title that helps you recognise it later.
Sign in with email or Google to keep saved CVs in your account. A guest draft is stored in the current browser, which is useful when returning on the same device. Your account is the better option when you need to work from another device or manage several CVs.
Comparing layouts with your information in mind
The template gallery shows complete sample CVs, so you can compare the structure before you start. Vienna puts section labels in a narrow gutter. Oslo places contact details and skills in a right column. Prague has a coloured frame, while Nairobi uses a simple heading and fine rules.
Filter the examples by photo, one or two columns, and the amount of decoration. Photos are optional in your own CV. Follow any instructions from the employer, including requirements about the document format.
Try the eight gallery colours, then adjust the colour, font and size in the editor. There are ten fonts and sizes from 8 to 18 points. The best choice is one you can read comfortably with your actual content in place; changing a font can also change the line breaks and number of pages.
Checking the PDF before sending it
The preview uses the actual document layout. Widen the preview column when checking spacing, contact details or how a section continues onto another page. Read the CV all the way through and check that dates, names and links are correct.
When you are ready, download the PDF using the access available on your account. If payment is needed, the app shows a single-CV option, a day pass and subscriptions, with M-Pesa payment. Check the current options before paying, and open the downloaded file once more before attaching it to an application.
CV Builder also supports sharing an eligible CV by link once download access has been granted. Use the method requested by the employer.
Try it with the application you are working on
Open a blank CV or choose a template, add your details and use the preview to review the result. You can save a draft and return when the remaining information is ready.
