The 30-Second CV

A hiring manager’s 30-second CV read for LinkedIn, with a sketched CV that lights up the part being read on each slide.

Opens in the editor: describe your topic and AI rewrites every slide in this design, or edit it yourself.

What’s on the slides

Slide 1
From someone who’s read 4,000 of them
How I read your CV in 30 seconds
Second by second: where my eyes go, and the moment I decide yes or no.
Slide 2
0:00 – 0:03
Name, title, location
Does the title at the top match the job I posted? If you’re applying for “Product Designer”, don’t lead with “Creative Generalist”.
Slide 3
0:03 – 0:10
Your last two roles
Company, title, dates. I’m looking for a story that points at this job. Older roles barely get a glance.
Slide 4
0:10 – 0:20
Any number at all
“Grew signups 38%” stops me. “Responsible for growth” doesn’t. One number per role is enough.
Slide 5
0:20 – 0:30
Gaps and hops
A gap is fine. An unexplained one makes me guess. One line, like “Career break: caring for family”, ends the question.
Slide 6
Same job, two bullets
Verb, number, result
One line, never two
Slide 7
Want a 30-second review?
Drop your target role below. I’ll pick 10 and tell you what I saw first.

Open it in the editor with “Use this template”. No install.
Make it yours: type your topic and let AI rewrite every slide in this design with matching photos, or change the words, photos and colours yourself.
