Then you replaced the template text with your information.

You added your own Contact Information, Experience, And education.

You decided which sections of the template to fill in, change, or delete to fit your needs. You made a lot of excellent progress, and the most important parts of your CV are complete. However, this is just a draft.

Before submitting your CV for a job or school, there are a few steps left to complete: First, make sure each section of the template is filled in completely.

Proofread your CV closely to correct any spelling or grammatical errors.

Likewise, even though templates are very helpful guides, they cannot guarantee that formatting or spacing errors won’t occur. Be sure to correct any inconsistencies in the layout of your CV, such as missing bullets or differences in font style.

Consider sharing your CV with a friend, family member, or classmate so they can give you additional feedback.
