What belongs on your CV?
Education and transferable skills
Add qualifications, training and skills that matter for the role. School projects, clubs and caring responsibilities can provide useful evidence when you have little paid experience.
How to use the NextRoles CV Builder
- Add your education, experience, skills and contact details.
- Organise the sections and check the preview as you edit.
- Review any AI wording against your own experience. Correct details and remove claims you cannot support.
- Compare your CV with the role using Job Check before preparing your application.
Keep a general CV as your starting point, then adjust the most relevant examples for each job. Your CV should be easy for another person to scan and understand.
Writing your first CV?
You do not need a long employment history to show useful skills. Describe a project you completed, a responsibility you held or a problem you helped solve. Our first-job CV checklist includes an example of turning a school activity into evidence.
Schools can bring CV building into their careers support alongside applications and interview practice. Explore NextRoles for schools.
CV Builder questions
Can I use it without an existing CV?
Yes. Start by adding your experience, education and skills. For a first CV, use school activities, volunteering and projects where they are relevant.
Is the CV Builder free?
NextRoles offers paid individual plans and school-managed access. Check the current plans and limits, or ask your school whether it provides an account.
Will it write my CV for me?
AI suggestions can help you draft wording, but you review the facts and decide what to include. The strongest CV is specific to your experience and the role.
