A CV that reads at first glance.
Whoever reads CVs has a pile of them and gives each one very little time. We lay yours out so your role, experience and results show at first glance, with no graphics getting in the way.
What you get
The deliverables, in short. What exactly is included goes in the quote.
- 01
The structure
Role and contact details at the top, then experience, most recent first, education and skills, with a clear hierarchy.
- 02
Clean design, not decoration
Legible fonts, one accent colour and plenty of space. No skill bars or large photos taking the place of content.
- 03
Readable by platforms too
The text stays text in the PDF, not an image, and the reading order is logical, so recruitment platforms can parse it.
- 04
The cover letter
In the same style, if you need one, so the whole application looks consistent.
- 05
A matching LinkedIn
A profile banner in the same style, for whoever looks you up after reading your CV.
- PDF for sending, selectable text
- A4 print PDF
- One or two pages
- Cover letter (optional)
- LinkedIn banner (optional)
How we work
Four steps, from the first message to the final files.
- 1
What, how many, where
You tell us what gets printed, in what format and how it is handed out. If you already have a print shop, we work to its specs.
- 2
The layout
We design on the real format, with your copy and a hierarchy built for whoever reads it.
- 3
Adjustments and proofing
We proof the copy and the details together. Rounds of changes are written in the quote.
- 4
Print-ready file
A PDF with bleed and safe margins, plus a version for screens. On request we also handle the printing, through our partner print shops.
Work we made
Only real projects, already on our site.
Questions
What clients ask us.
Will you help with the wording?
We help you order and trim it, so every line says something. The content itself, your experience and results, comes from you, because you know it best.
Should I put a photo on my CV?
It depends on the field and the country. In many places it is no longer expected, while in public-facing roles it can help. We tell you at the first talk what suits the job you are after.
Can I update the CV later?
Yes. What exactly you get, including a version you can fill in yourself, is written in the quote, from the start.
Do you handle the printing too?
Yes, if you want. We work with partner print shops and tell you which paper and finish suit what you are printing. You can just as well take the files to your own printer.
What files do I get?
A print PDF (CMYK, with bleed and safe margins) and a screen version, so you can also send it by e-mail or WhatsApp.
How much does it cost?
It depends on what it covers: how many pieces, how many versions, whether printing or production is included. Tell us what you need and we come back with a clear quote, after a short talk.
