Absolutely — Resume.ie is built specifically for the Irish market. Our templates use A4 format, UK English spelling, and our salary data covers Irish roles. We even have the world's only Irish-language (as Gaeilge) CV template!

Single-column templates like Classic, ATS-Friendly, and Clean score highest with ATS systems. Avoid complex two-column layouts and heavy graphics for roles that specifically mention ATS screening.

Yes! Your content is separate from the design. Click any template in the CV Builder and your content will automatically reformat to the new design. Try several to see which looks best with your content.

Yes — each template supports custom accent colours. Use the colour picker in the builder sidebar to match your personal brand or the company's brand colours.

In Ireland and the UK, photos are generally not expected and can lead to unconscious bias. However, some European and creative roles welcome them. We offer both photo and non-photo templates so you can choose based on your situation.

We currently offer 25+ templates across various styles. Free users get 8 templates, Pro users get access to all 25+. Browse all templates in our Template Gallery.

Free users can download as PDF. Pro and Career+ users can also download as DOCX (Word). PDFs are A4-optimised and print-ready.

Use PDF unless the employer specifically requests Word format. PDFs preserve your formatting exactly and look professional on any device. Some ATS systems work better with DOCX, so having both options is ideal.

Go to your Public Profile and click "Share". You'll get a unique URL (resume.ie/your-name) that you can share on LinkedIn, in emails, or on your own website.

Free CVs include a small "Built with Resume.ie" watermark at the bottom. Upgrading to Pro removes this completely.

Our ATS Checker analyses your CV against the same criteria used by Applicant Tracking Systems. It checks keyword density, formatting compatibility, section structure, and readability to give you a score out of 100 with specific improvement suggestions.

Our Salary Intelligence aggregates data from multiple Irish sources including job postings, recruitment agencies, and industry surveys. Data is updated quarterly and covers 50+ roles across Dublin, Cork, Galway, and other cities.

The Job Match tool compares your CV against any job description. It identifies matching keywords, missing skills, and gives you specific suggestions to tailor your CV for each application.

Our AI Interview Prep simulates real interviews for various roles and industries. You answer questions and receive feedback on your responses, helping you prepare for the real thing.

Yes! Our Job Tracker uses a kanban-style board to track applications through stages: Wishlist → Applied → Screening → Interview → Offer. Never lose track of an application again.

Our Skills Assessments are interactive quizzes across 6 professional categories. They evaluate your skills, identify strengths and weaknesses, and provide personalised development recommendations. Available on Career+ plan.

Go to Settings → Plan & Billing and click "Cancel Subscription". You'll continue to have access until the end of your billing period. No cancellation fees.

In Ireland, 2 pages is the standard for professionals with 3+ years of experience. Graduates and early-career professionals should aim for 1 page. Executives with 15+ years may use 3 pages, but keep it concise.

Absolutely! Tailoring your CV for each role significantly increases your chances. Use our Job Match tool to identify which keywords and skills to emphasise for each application. With Resume.ie Pro, you can create unlimited CV versions.

Essential sections: Contact Details, Professional Summary (2-3 sentences), Work Experience (most recent first), Education, and Key Skills. Optional but valuable: Certifications, Languages, Volunteer Work, Publications.

Use the formula: Action Verb + Task + Result. For example: "Led rebranding initiative that increased brand awareness by 34% across EMEA markets." Always quantify results with numbers, percentages, or euro amounts where possible.

Common mistakes: spelling and grammar errors (especially mixing US/UK English), using "Curriculum Vitae" as a heading, including personal details like age/marital status, using an unprofessional email address, and failing to customise for each application.
