Your details
How to use it in 4 steps
- Enter your name and target role. The role line tells the reader what you are applying for, so every section below it reads in context.
- List your education. One entry per line: degree, university and years. Include exchange semesters and relevant coursework if space allows.
- Add experience and skills. Internships, part-time jobs, societies and volunteering all count — describe what you did, not just the title. Skills go in as a comma-separated list.
- Download the PDF and proofread. One click builds a clean CV PDF. Read it once for dates, spelling and email address before sending it anywhere.
Worked example: a second-year business student
Maria Garcia, a second-year business student in Amsterdam, targets a marketing internship. Her CV lists a BSc in Business at the University of Amsterdam (2023–2026) and an exchange semester at Sciences Po Paris in 2025, a summer marketing internship at a local NGO, a year as student society treasurer, and skills including Excel, Canva, Python basics, English at C1 level and native Spanish. Enter those lines above and the PDF lays them out in that order.
Students applying to European universities or employers often meet the Europass format; this CV follows the same plain, readable structure without locking you into any portal. Pair it with a clean application file using our merge PDFs for assignments tool, and check deadlines with the scholarship application checklist.
Answer in brief: the facts
Europass, run by the European Commission, is the EU's own free CV and application-document service, and its standard CV layout — personal details, education, experience, skills — is the format European recruiters and universities recognise most readily. This maker follows that same plain, scannable order, so your CV reads correctly whether it goes to a Berlin start-up, a Paris university or a London internship scheme. No portal account is needed here, and no portal's size limits or requirements are claimed on this page.
Why browser-only beats server-upload tools
Server-upload tools receive your full document: your client names, amounts, salaries or CV details sit on somebody else's server, under somebody else's retention policy, even if the page promises deletion. This tool does the opposite — the PDF is assembled or converted by JavaScript running on your own device, so the file never travels anywhere. You can verify that in your browser's Network tab: no upload request appears. For confidential business and personal documents, that difference matters more than any extra feature, and it is why our safety guide recommends browser-only tools for sensitive files.
Straight talk: limits
📝 One page, plain layout
This maker produces a clean single-document CV, not a designed portfolio. For creative roles, export this as your base CV and attach a portfolio separately.
⚖️ Check before sending
Names, dates, email addresses and grades are your responsibility — the tool prints exactly what you type. Proofread every line before applying.
💾 Save your PDFs
Because nothing is uploaded, nothing is stored for you either. Download each CV before leaving the page.
🔤 Plain text only
The PDF uses a standard font for maximum compatibility, so exotic scripts and emojis are simplified. Keep entries in standard Latin characters for the cleanest output.
Student CV Maker FAQ
Is this student CV maker really free?
Yes — unlimited CVs, every field and PDF download, forever. No trial, no watermark on your CV, no account and no payment details, because everything runs in your browser.
Do I need to sign up or give my email?
No. The maker works the moment the page loads. There is no account and no email capture — which also means the form clears if you refresh, so download your PDF before leaving.
Where is my personal data stored?
Only in this browser tab while you type. The PDF is assembled on your own device, so your name, email and phone number are never uploaded to any server.
I have no work experience. What do I put on my CV?
Education first, then projects, volunteering, societies, part-time work and skills. Recruiters hiring students expect this mix — an honest CV with real activities beats an invented job history every time.
Should a student CV be one page?
Yes, for most internships and first jobs. One focused page forces you to keep only the strongest entries, and it is what recruiters can actually read in full. Cut weaker lines rather than shrinking the font.
Can I tailor the CV for different roles?
Yes. Change the target role line, reorder experience to lead with the most relevant entry, and adjust the skills list for each application — then download a separate PDF per role.
Does it work for EU and US applications?
Yes. The layout is the plain, scannable format used on both sides of the Atlantic. For US roles, drop the date of birth and photo conventions entirely — neither is requested or needed here.
