When looking for a job, it is always difficult to stand out from other candidates. So, in order for recruiters to get a good idea of you very quickly, it is important to offer them a quality CV. That is to say, a complete CV (neither too short nor too long), well presented, which catches the eye, but which is not completely crazy either.
For my part, for many years, I used Word when it came to creating CVs and cover letters… but that time is now over since there are online tools that allow you to do it much more easily and with a guaranteed result! Let's discover together Resume Trick which offers this service for free!
Create Resumes and Cover Letters in Minutes with Resume Trick
You probably know this, but "Resume" means CV in English. So, yes Resume Trick is a site in English, but rest assured, it has a CV creation tool that translates into many languages : English, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and of course French!
You will thus be able to create your precious keys to your next job in the language of your choice and even possibly create several versions in different languages… but let's not anticipate too much.
Let's start with thetool for creating a CV. First of all, I recommend that you create a free account that will allow you to save your creations and thus avoid having to start all over again each time you need to make an update.
On the homepage of Resume Trick, meeting on DESCRIPTION > Resume Builder to access the CV building tool.
Once on the tool, you will be able to select the language of your CV as indicated above. This will allow the different sections of the latter to be translated.
Regarding the interface of the creation tool, on the left you will have all the fields that you can fill in and on the right a real-time preview of your CV.
In terms of the fields that you can fill in, almost everything is customizable, but you will find:
- your personal information (name, address, contact details, etc.)
- a professional summary field (to summarize yourself in a few words and indicate your professional objectives)… which has a button allowing AI-assisted filling
- your professional experiences
- your studies
- your skills
- links you would like to highlight
- your passions
- your internships
- the languages you speak
- the awards you received
- and even a customizable field to add anything
In short, there is everything you need to create a very good CV. The process is very simple and the creation time will depend mainly on the time it takes you to gather the elements concerning you.
Once this step is completed, you will be able to choose the look of your CV. Resume Trick offers about twenty pre-designed CV templates that you will be able to try in one click. For each template you will be able to choose the dominant color that suits you best. On the other hand, it is not possible to edit anything else concerning the layout but I have no doubt that you will find a template for your CV ;).
Concerning creating cover letters (cover letter in English), the operation is very similar with obviously fewer fields to fill in since you will have to provide your personal information, information on the targeted company and then it's up to you to work on the content of the letter! To inspire you, you can always use the examples (in English) offered by Resume Trick.
Once you have created your documents, you can export them to PDF format.
In conclusion, Resume Trick is a great free tool that allows you to create quality CVs and cover letters very simply.
