Arabic CV Templates (PDF & Word)

Usually your name, job title and contact details, a short profile, work experience with achievements, education, courses and certificates, skills and languages. Many Arab countries also expect personal details such as nationality, date of birth and marital status: military status in Egypt, visa or iqama status in the Gulf. Add only what the employer asks for.

It depends on the job. Government bodies, schools and many local companies accept Arabic, while large and international employers in the Gulf usually want English. You can switch the CV language with one click: the headings and direction change, and what you typed stays for you to translate.

Yes. The PDF holds real text, Arabic and English, that can be selected, copied and searched, not a picture. For online job portals choose the Classic one-column template, the easiest for these systems to read.

Yes. "Download Word (.docx)" gives you a DOCX close to the same template, built from real paragraphs, bullet lists and tables that are easy to edit in Microsoft Word or Google Docs. The Arabic font (Cairo) is embedded in the file.

Photos are common and expected on Arabic CVs, especially in the Gulf and Egypt. For employers in Europe or North America, leave it out. Use a formal photo on a light background; the passport photo tool can help you prepare one.

One page for new graduates and short careers, two pages for most experienced people. The preview shows the page count as you type, so you can trim the less important points if it runs past two.

No. The CV, the PDF and the Word file are all made in your browser, and the draft is saved on this device only so you can come back to it. Your name, photo and everything you type stay with you.
