Make a good first impression - Cover page
When creating a CV the first page is important to directly show your customer that you are the perfect match for their needs. Creating a selling cover page is a great way of making your customer immediately aware of your potential and will increase the chances of them continuing to read your CV.
After creating your first CV, Cinode has great functions to adjust a CV for certain roles/customers.
How to add skills to the right on the first page of your CV
To highlight your skills and add them to the right of the first page of the CV follow these steps:

How to translate a CV
Why are there restrictions on the number of characters in a CV?
For "Title & Presentation" and "Highlighted Work Experience," there are character limits to ensure your presentation fits on one page. Avoid unnecessary line breaks and paragraphs. If your text exceeds the limit, you'll see yellow highlights for the parts that don't fit. In "Highlighted Work Experience," a red warning-triangle indicates excessive characters. To reduce text length, focus on the most relevant information for the role you're presenting.
