How is a CV different from a resume?

In practice: the format and what the reader expects. Locally, applications usually go through a job board form, where the fields matter. International companies expect a CV — an English file with projects, certifications and education, usually one or two pages. If you're searching in both markets you need both versions, and both are built from the same experience.

Why LaTeX rather than Word?

Because a LaTeX template guarantees everyone sees the same document: spacing, fonts and line breaks live in the source. A Word file often shifts on another machine — and the recruiter sees the shifted version.

Do I need to know LaTeX?

No. You copy the generated source into the Overleaf template — an online editor, nothing to install — then press Recompile and download the PDF. Editing the code by hand is optional.

A free account covers this: one project and PDF compilation. We're not affiliated with Overleaf — it's simply the easiest way to turn LaTeX into a PDF without installing anything.

Can I make the CV in Russian?

Yes, the language is chosen upfront. But if you're targeting roles abroad or relocation, the English version is almost always the one that gets read — by recruiters and by screening systems.

Which plan includes the CV generator?

The CV generator is part of the Premium plan. Signing up is free, and the current plan contents are on the pricing page and in your account.

What do I do with the finished CV?

Run it through the resume analysis: it checks whether screening systems can read the file and which keywords are missing for the role. Then apply — international postings almost always ask for the PDF.

How to build the CV

From an empty form to a PDF in four steps.

Fill in the sections

Contacts, experience, education, skills, languages, certifications, projects. Only name, role and email are required — the rest you add as needed.

Let AI tighten it

Experience and project descriptions can be rewritten with one click: action verbs, outcomes instead of duties, English that isn't translated word for word.

Get the LaTeX source

The finished CV source, copied with one button. Nothing to install — it's just text.

Compile the PDF in Overleaf

Open the linked template, replace main.tex, hit Recompile, download the PDF. The four-step instruction sits next to the code.

How this differs from a local resume

International applications are read differently: they expect an English CV with projects and certifications, not a job board questionnaire.

Seven sections, international order

Contacts, experience, education, skills, languages, certifications and projects — in the order recruiters abroad expect to read them.

English written as English

The CV is written in English from the start rather than translated: live wording, no «responsible for the implementation of».

LaTeX source

Typography, spacing and hyphenation come from the template. The CV won't drift the way a Word file does on someone else's machine.

Per-section AI rewrites

Any experience or project block can be rewritten on its own — keep whichever version reads stronger.

Projects and certifications

Sections a local questionnaire rarely has, but which often decide international screening — especially for juniors and career switchers.

Several CV versions

CVs are stored in your account, so you can keep one per direction and rebuild it instead of starting over.

A local resume and an international CV

These aren't translations of one document — they're two formats for two different readers.

—	Local resume	International CV
How you apply	Usually a job board form: fields, not a file.	A PDF attached to an email or to the company's own application form.
Sections	Experience, education, skills, sometimes an «about me».	Plus projects, certifications and languages — read first for juniors and relocators.
Language	The local language, occasionally an English version for international teams.	English by default — the CV is read by people and by screening systems.
Layout	A board template or a Word file that drifts on someone else's screen.	A LaTeX template: identical spacing and line breaks for everyone who opens it.
