CV Builder by Agilecode helps job seekers in Kenya prepare a CV in their browser. Choose a layout, enter your experience and education, and check the finished pages in the PDF preview. Editing and previewing are free, with affordable PDF downloads paid in Kenyan shillings (KSh) through M-Pesa.
Choose from 40 CV templates
Compare complete examples before choosing a design. The collection includes Kampala, Kigali, Dar es Salaam, Accra, Lagos, Cairo, Addis Ababa, Dakar, Abuja, Johannesburg, Durban, Harare, Lusaka, Maputo, Gaborone, Melbourne, Brisbane, Auckland, Madrid, Rome, Mombasa, Nakuru, Kisumu, Vienna, Oslo, Prague, Amsterdam, Stockholm, Lisbon, Copenhagen, Milan, Geneva, Nairobi, London, Paris, Tokyo, Sydney, Berlin, Toronto and Cape Town.
Kampala combines a dark photo sidebar with pale section bars. Kigali places a round photo in a pale heading, while Dar es Salaam pairs a photo with a clear date column. Lagos adds a narrow leafy border beside the main text.
Accra and Addis Ababa use centred serif headings and ruled sections. Cairo has a left-hand date column, and Dakar keeps details compact. Abuja and Johannesburg use fine coloured rules. Durban separates sections with pale bands.
Harare pairs a dark framed heading with facing columns separated by a fine rule. Lusaka uses serif headings, a large monogram and a slim contact column. You can add a photo in place of the monogram.
Maputo uses a framed heading and right-hand details column. Brisbane and Madrid have a dark framed name banner, while Rome uses a coloured photo sidebar. Gaborone places your profile beside an experience timeline. Melbourne has a split introduction followed by full-width sections, and Auckland pairs a two-tone name with a compact contact bar.
Every template starts at 11 pt with 1-inch (2.54 cm) page margins. You can change the font size in the editor.
The gallery uses fictional Kenyan names and locations so you can compare complete CV examples. Your own CV starts blank, ready for your details.
Mombasa pairs a dark sidebar with a matching name banner. Nakuru places education and skills in a coloured sidebar. Kisumu uses a full-width colour header with a round photo beside your name. Photos are optional, and each template supports your chosen colour and font. Coloured sidebars follow the colour you select.
Filter the gallery by photo, layout and graphics. Try eight preset colours or use a custom colour in the editor. Choose from ten fonts, adjust the font size from 8 to 18 points, and add a photo if you want one. A clear one-column layout and a design with a details panel are both available.
Make room for the experience that matters
Add a profile, work experience, education and skills. You can also include projects, certifications, languages, references and interests. Change the order of the main sections so the information most relevant to the job is easy to find.
The PDF preview updates as you work. Make the preview column wider when you need to inspect line breaks, spacing or a second page. Your selected template, font and colour are used in the actual PDF.
Save, Share and Download PDF are available above and below the preview, so you can act after checking the pages.
Start now and return to your draft
You can begin before signing in. Guest drafts are saved in the browser you are using, so you can return on the same device. Sign in with email or Google to save CVs to your account, keep different versions and duplicate an existing CV for another application.
A browser draft stays on that browser. Use your account when you need to continue on another device or keep your saved CVs together.
Give each version a useful name, such as Academic or Industry, and add optional comments to remember what it is for. Comments stay with your account version and do not appear in downloaded PDFs or shared CVs.
Each saved CV has an activity history with dates for recorded edits, photo changes, copies and downloads. The history cannot be edited.
