How to make a CV in Pakistan
A good CV is short, clear and easy to scan. Recruiters often spend less than a minute on a first look, so the most important details need to stand out. The CV maker above does the layout for you. Here is what to put in it.
What to include
- Contact details: full name, phone number, email and city.
- Profile: two or three sentences on who you are, your main skills and the job you want.
- Experience: latest job first, with job title, company, dates and 3 to 5 duties or results.
- Education: highest qualification first, including Matric, Intermediate, diplomas and your marks or CGPA if they are good.
- Skills and languages: the skills the job asks for, and languages such as Urdu, English and your regional language.
- Optional: photo, date of birth, marital status, certifications, projects and references.
Tips that get more interview calls
- Keep it to one page if you have less than five years of experience, two pages at most.
- Start each duty with an action word: managed, prepared, sold, trained, built.
- Add numbers where you can: "handled 40 customers a day", "cut month-end close from 7 to 4 days".
- Match your skills and profile to the job advert. Many employers search CVs for the words in their ad.
- Use a professional email address and a phone number you answer.
- Send it as a PDF, so it looks the same on every phone and computer.
Which CV design should I choose?
Classic
One clean column. The safest choice for banks, government jobs, large companies and online application systems that scan CVs.
Modern
A coloured side bar for your contact details, skills and languages. Good for sales, marketing, IT and design roles.
Compact
Tighter spacing to fit more on one page. Useful when you have several jobs or a long list of skills.
All three designs use the same answers, so you can switch at any time without retyping anything.
Frequently asked questions
Is the GetPakJob CV maker really free?

What is the right CV format in Pakistan?
Most Pakistani employers expect a one or two page CV with your contact details, a short profile, work experience starting with the latest job, education including Matric and Intermediate, skills and languages. A photo, date of birth and marital status are common but optional.
Should I add a photo to my CV?
It is optional. Many Pakistani employers are used to CVs with a photo, so a clear, professional photo can help. If you do not add one, the design adjusts and leaves no empty box.
Should I put my CNIC number on my CV?
No. Your CNIC number is not needed on a CV and is better kept private. Employers ask for it later, during hiring, if they need it.
Can I make a CV with no experience?
Yes. Put your education first, add internships, part-time work, volunteering or family business work as experience, and list skills you have used at university or college. The examples in each step help you write these parts.
Can I edit my CV later?
Yes. Your answers are saved to your account. Come back to the CV maker at any time, change anything and save again. The newest CV is used when you apply for jobs on GetPakJob.
Is a CV the same as a resume?
In Pakistan the two words are used for the same thing: a one or two page summary of your experience, education and skills. GetPakJob uses the word CV.
