Rename category titles in your CV to match a specific request 🧩📄
In Cinode, you can customise the category names used in the Skills by category section of a CV. This allows you to adapt the wording to match a specific role, customer, or market—without changing skills, levels, or your profile structure.
All changes apply only to the selected CV.
Once you have created a CV, you can customise how category names are displayed in Skills by category.
Open the CV for editing ✏️
To customise category names:
Go to Home → CV.
Find the CV you want to update.
Click the pen icon to the right of the CV.
Scroll to the Skills by category section.
Create a category with a custom title 🏷️
To change the title of a category, create a new category with the title you want and move the relevant skills into it.
To create a category with your own title:
In the Skills by category section, click the + button
Instead of selecting one of Cinode's predefined categories, type your own title into the field (for example "Top competencies")
Click + to add the category
Select which skills from the profile you want to include in the new category
The new category is now shown in the CV with your custom title.
What this affects (and what it doesn’t)
Renaming a category:
✅ Changes only the category title shown in the CV
✅ Helps tailor the CV language to a specific audience
It does not:
❌ Change the category name in your profile
❌ Affect other CVs
❌ Change skills or skill levels
When to customise category names 💡
Customising category names is useful when:
A customer uses different terminology
You want more sales-oriented or role-specific headings
The same skills need different framing in different CVs
Example:
Profile category: Technical skills
CV category name: Cloud platforms and DevOps tools
Save your changes 💾
When saving:
Save updates the current CV only
Save to… lets you choose multiple CVs and/or the profile
If you only have one CV, the profile and CV mirror each other.
If you have multiple CVs, you can choose exactly which CVs to update.
Good to know
Category name changes are CV-specific
You can use different category names in different CVs
This is a presentation change onlyNote! Not all CV templates include the section "skills by category".
