You just have to click on the “Start now” button that you will see in the center left of the screen.

cvlogin
The cvlogin website offers you a similar appearance to Microsoft Word. We have already seen that the editor is easy to use and, in fact, it influences that the way in which the interface elements are organized is a bit similar to the style of the Office applications that we are so used to using. Gives you the option to access a short tour so that you know how to use it, in case you are not used to handling this type of online programs.
You have more than 10 templates available and you can choose the colors or tones that you prefer to prevail in each of them. What does not give you the option is to choose a font. One of the main (and minimal) complications you may encounter is choosing the sections of your CV. For it, on the title of each section already indicated, put your mouse cursor and various functions will appear on the right. Choose the pencil (change type) and there, section.

The Novorésumé website has a somewhat loaded start interface. Press about “start now” and you will access eight templates, among which you have to choose the one you like the most.

Unlike other similar tools, in CakeResume you will start by building a profile with your data, skills, experience and educational level. You can later transform that profile into a fairly complete and professional CV using an easy-to-use online editor.
