VisualCV targets freelances, remote workers, and job seekers seeking resume + portfolio with employer engagement tracking, not internal team workflows.
About
In practice. What you can do with VisualCV.
VisualCV helps create targeted resume versions, export them as PDFs and share them through a link. It adds templates, cover-letter tooling, a simple professional website and view analytics.
The free account is enough to test the structure and prepare a first resume. Pro is useful for multiple targeted applications and advanced exports or templates. It does not replace the substantive work of positioning experience and adapting evidence to a role.
Practical uses
Freelances varying resume by client and tracking engagement.
Job seekers testing free plan before purchasing Pro.
Creatives (designers, photographers) showcasing portfolio + resume in one page.
