Introducing the JobPLT CV Builder: a CV in the format each country expects
Build your CV for India, Germany, Australia or the UAE with five local templates per country, a live preview, a formatting toolbar and one-click PDF and Word downloads.
A CV that works well in Bengaluru can look odd to a recruiter in Munich, and one that works well in Munich can break the norms in Sydney. Photos, dates of birth, signatures, referees, visa status, even what the sections are called: each country has its own conventions, and recruiters notice when you don't follow them.
That's why we built the JobPLT CV Builder. You choose the country you're applying to first, and everything that follows uses that country's format.
Step 1: choose the country
When you create a CV, the first question is "Where are you applying?" You choose one of four countries:
| Country | What changes |
|---|---|
| 🇮🇳 India | Optional photo, grouped core expertise, personal details and a signed declaration in the traditional templates |
| 🇩🇪 Germany | A tabular Lebenslauf: dates in a left column, MM/YYYY dates, a professional photo, CEFR language levels, and "Ort, Datum, Unterschrift" at the end; headings in German or English |
| 🇦🇺 Australia | No photo or date of birth, a line stating your work rights, and referees (or "available on request") |
| 🇦🇪 UAE | A professional photo, nationality, visa status, notice period and driving licence |
Each country card also shows the usual length and whether a photo is expected, so you know what you're aiming for before you start.
Step 2: choose one of five templates
Every country has five templates, each previewed with a realistic sample CV, for example:
- India: Modern Professional, Classic with Declaration, Corporate Two-Column, Fresher / Campus and Senior Executive
- Germany: Klassisch, Modern Lebenslauf, Kompakt, EU-Format (Europass style) and International English (ATS)
- Australia: Classic Résumé, Modern Two-Column, Government (APS), Graduate and Executive
- UAE: Dubai Classic, Abu Dhabi Two-Column, Gulf Executive, Modern ATS and Compact Tabular
You can switch template at any time without losing anything you've written, so there's no risk in picking one to start with.
Start from the CV you already have
If you've uploaded a CV to JobPLT, the builder can start from it. It copies your name, email, phone, LinkedIn, skills and summary. If your CV groups skills by category (for example "Cloud: AWS, Azure"), lists certifications or has a domain-experience section, it brings those across too. You then fill in or polish the rest.
Editing that feels like a word processor
- Live preview: the right-hand side shows an A4 page that updates as you type, with page breaks marked.
- Formatting toolbar: bold, italic, bullet lists, numbered lists, undo and redo for every description.
- Month and year pickers: pick "Aug 2009" in two clicks.
- Autosave: every change is saved within a second; there's no Save button to forget.
- Writing tips for each section, specific to the country you chose.
Sections that fit your career
Open Manage sections to:
- turn sections on or off (projects, languages, awards, interests and more)
- rename any section, for example "Work Experience" to "Career History"
- reorder them
- add your own sections, such as Publications, Patents or Domain Experience
The section names you set are used everywhere: in the editor, the section list, the preview and both downloads.
Download as PDF or Word
When you're done, download your CV as:
- PDF: exactly what you see in the preview, with real, selectable text so applicant tracking systems can read it.
- Word (.docx): the same layout built from real Word paragraphs, lists and tables, for recruiters who ask for an editable file.
Files are named after you, for example Anna-Schmidt-Lebenslauf.pdf for a German CV.
Applying to more than one country?
Use Copy for… to make a copy of your CV in another country's format. Your experience, education and skills come with it, and the copy uses that country's template, section names and personal details. For example, you can turn a German Lebenslauf into an Australian résumé without retyping anything.
Try it
Open the CV Builder, pick a country and see your CV take shape. When it's ready, search for jobs that match it.
