What is the difference between a CV and a resume in the UK?
+
In the United Kingdom, a CV (Curriculum Vitae) is the standard document used for job
applications. It typically includes a personal statement, detailed work history in reverse
chronological order, education, and skills — usually two pages for most professionals. A resume
is the American English term for the same document and is used primarily in the United States
and Canada. UK employers expect a CV. Resumaly's templates follow UK CV conventions.
How long should a UK CV be?
+
A standard UK CV should be two pages for most professionals with more than two years of work
experience. School leavers and recent graduates applying for their first role or internship can
use one page. Academic CVs, which detail publications and research, may be longer. Resumaly's
templates are designed to fit standard UK CV lengths cleanly.
Are the CV templates ATS-compatible for UK employers?
+
Yes. All Resumaly templates are built to pass the ATS (Applicant Tracking System) software used
by UK employers, recruitment agencies, and large organisations. The templates avoid tables, text
boxes, columns, graphics, and unusual fonts — all of which cause ATS parsing errors. You can
additionally run your finished CV through Resumaly's
free ATS
Score Checker to verify before applying.
Can I build a CV on my mobile phone?
+
Yes. Resumaly's CV builder works on smartphones and tablets as well as laptops and desktop
computers. The builder is fully mobile-responsive, so you can build, edit, and download your CV
from any device with a modern web browser.
Where is my CV data stored?
+
Your CV data is stored only in your browser's localStorage — it stays on your own device and is
never transmitted to Resumaly's servers. There is no database of user CVs. Your personal
information, work history, and contact details remain entirely on your device. We recommend
downloading your PDF after each session as a personal backup in case you clear your browser
data.
