How it works
Four steps, and you stay in control at each one.
Drop in your CV
PDF, Word or text, up to 3 MB. No CV? Click "Start from scratch" and a guided form walks you through it.
The AI pulls out your background
Experience, education, skills: everything is picked up, and you correct what needs correcting.
Improve it with suggestions
Rewritten descriptions, a profile summary, suggested skills. Nothing is compulsory, you accept or not.
Create your account and download
The account is free. Your CV is waiting there for you, ready, as a PDF.
What you get
A one-page CV
Spacing is tightened before the text is shrunk. If your background is far too long, Joblio keeps your most recent experience and education and shows you which items it has hidden.
Readable by recruitment software
A real text PDF: screening software reads it the way a recruiter does.
Twelve templates included
All ATS-friendly and included in the Free plan. Essential and Premium add nine more polished ones. You can switch templates whenever you like.
A CV you can edit later
Once your account is created, you find it in your documents to touch it up or tailor it to a job.
What should go in a CV?
The sections a recruiter in France expects, in the order they read them.
Header
First name, surname, title of the role you want, phone, a professional email address, town. No date of birth or marital status: they aren't asked for.
Profile summary
Two or three lines written for the role: who you are, what you can do, what you are looking for. It is the most-read part.
Experience
Most recent first: job title, company, dates, then two to four lines of concrete achievements, with an action verb and a result.
Education
Qualification, institution, year. Placed before experience if you are a student or early in your career.
Skills and languages
The tools and know-how asked for in the ad that you genuinely master. Languages with a precise level (B2, C1).
Interests
Optional. Only keep them if they are specific and say something about you.
One page is enough up to about ten years of experience. Beyond that, keep the detail for recent roles and summarise the older ones.
The profile summary: examples for your situation
Two or three lines at the top of the CV, rewritten for each job. What they must say: who you are, what you can do, what you are looking for.
- Apprenticeship: "BTS Communication student looking for a 2-year apprenticeship in community management from September, with 2 days a week in college and 3 days at work."
- Internship: "Second-year BUT Computer Science student looking for a 10-week web development internship from April. Projects in React and PHP, detailed below."
- First job: "Master's graduate in management control, with two internships in manufacturing companies. Looking for a first role as a management controller in Haute-Savoie."
- Career change: "Ten years in retail sales, now trained in human resources (professional qualification). Looking for an HR assistant role where my people skills will count."
- Experienced: "Digital project manager for 7 years, 3 of them in an agency. I have led e-commerce site redesigns from start to finish. Looking for a product manager role."
A good summary picks up the terms from the ad that you genuinely master, and nothing else. Avoid qualities with no proof ("dynamic and motivated"): the experience below is there to show them.
The mistakes that get a CV rejected
The same CV for every job
At least adapt the title, the summary and the order of your skills to each ad. That is what the recruiter and the screening software read.
Duties instead of achievements
"Customer management" describes a job. "Managed a portfolio of 40 clients, follow-ups and quotes" describes what you did.
A layout software cannot read
A CV saved as an image, text inside shapes, tangled columns: screening software can lose part of it.
Typos
Read it aloud and have someone else check it. A typo in the title or the company name costs a lot.
A CV that is too long
A recruiter skims a CV in a few seconds. Whatever is on page 2 often goes unread.
A CV suited to your situation
Tips and example wording for your profile.
CV for an apprenticeship
Schedule, qualification you are studying for, start date: what an employer looks for first.
Student CV
Internship, job, course project: turn a short background into strengths.
CV with no experience
First job or career change: what to include when you have never worked in the field.

Frequently asked
questions
Is it really free?
Yes. Creating, viewing and downloading the CV is free, with no card. The Free plan includes 3 CVs a month, and the CV made on this page is one of them.
Why do I need an account to download?
So you can find your CV again, edit it and tailor it to each job without starting over. The account is free and takes a few seconds to create, with Google or an email address.
I don't have a CV, what do I do?
Click "I don't have a CV, start from scratch". A guided form asks for your experience, education and skills, and the AI helps you write them up.
Which file formats are accepted?
PDF, Word (DOCX) and text (TXT), up to 3 MB. If your PDF is larger, export it without high-resolution images.
What if I leave the page halfway through?
A finished CV is kept in your browser. When you come back to this page, Joblio offers to restore it.
Should I put a photo on my CV?
It isn't required in France, and many recruiters do without. If you add one, keep it simple, recent and on a plain background.
Should my CV fit on one page?
Yes, in the vast majority of cases. Joblio fits every CV onto one page: it tightens the spacing first, only shrinks the text as a last resort, and warns you if it gets hard to read.
Can I make my CV on my phone?
Yes. The page works on a phone, and Joblio installs like an app from your browser, on Android and iPhone alike.
PDF or Word: which format should I send?
A PDF, unless the ad asks for another format. Joblio's is a real text PDF: the layout is preserved and screening software can read it.
