PDF & DOCX Download

Download your CV as PDF or Word (DOCX)

Finish your CV in Careero and export it exactly how each application needs it — a pixel-perfect PDF for online forms and job boards, or a fully editable Word DOCX when someone asks for one.

Download as PDF

PDF is the safest format for most applications: it looks identical on every device and can't be accidentally reformatted. Careero produces a clean, ATS-friendly PDF with selectable text (never a flat image), so applicant tracking systems can still read every line.

Download as Word (DOCX)

Some universities, careers services and recruiters ask for an editable Word document. Careero exports a DOCX that opens cleanly in Microsoft Word or Google Docs, keeping your layout and headings intact so you can make quick edits without breaking the design.

Which format should you use?

📄

Use PDF when…

Applying online, uploading to a job board, or emailing directly — anywhere the layout must stay fixed.

📝

Use DOCX when…

An employer or careers service specifically asks for Word, or you want to hand-edit outside Careero.

Either way…

Both exports stay ATS-friendly and keep identical formatting, so your CV looks the same wherever it lands.
