Frequently asked questions
Is it really free?
Yes. Make and download as many CVs as you like, with no hidden costs. If it helped you, you can buy us a coffee, but you don’t have to.
Where does my data go?
It stays in your browser, on this device. We can’t see it and we don’t keep it. If you switch computers, download your CV as Word: you can import it again from there.
Can I import the CV I already have?
Yes, from Word (.docx) or from a PDF with selectable text, including your LinkedIn profile PDF. After the import we point out the fields to double-check. Scanned PDFs, which are pictures of pages, can’t be read.
Does the PDF work with applicant tracking systems?
Yes: the text stays text, it doesn’t become an image. The Essential template, in a single column, is the one automated screening systems read best.
How do I get the PDF?
Press “Download PDF” and, in the print window, choose “Save as PDF” as the destination. Leave the margins on “Default”.
Can I edit my CV after downloading it?
Yes. Download the Word file and edit it like any document, or open CV Espresso again in the same browser: your last CV is right where you left it.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes, though a computer is more comfortable for writing a full CV. On a phone you switch between the form and the preview with the buttons at the bottom.
What is the GDPR line at the bottom of the CV?
Many Italian recruiters ask for a consent line about personal data. If you don’t need it, turn it off in the “Design” tab.
