Why each country has its own maker
Employers in the US, UK, Canada and Australia expect slightly different things: what the document is called, the paper size, how long it should be, and what to do about references. Each maker follows its country's official advice, so you don't have to remember the differences.
| Country | Called | Paper | Length | References |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| United States | Resume | US Letter | 1 to 2 pages | Separate page, when asked |
| United Kingdom | CV | A4 | No more than 2 sides | "Available on request" is fine |
| Canada | Resume | Letter | 2 pages at most | Separate sheet, when asked |
| Australia | Resume | A4 | Usually 1 to 3 pages | At least 2 referees |
All four agree on one thing: leave out personal details employers don't need, like your date of birth, and never include a government ID number. Every maker warns you if it spots one.
Private by design
Your resume is built and turned into a PDF by your own browser. Nothing you type is sent to us or stored on your device, there's no account to create, and there's no watermark. If you want to come back to it later, press Save draft to download a draft file, and open it again next time.
Tip: applying in more than one country? Save a draft in one maker and open it in another. Your details and jobs carry over, and you only need to adjust the sections that are different.
