Frequently Asked Questions
Should I include everything from my CV?
No. A presentation CV should be a highlights reel, not a comprehensive document. Include only the most relevant and impressive content. Think "greatest hits," not "complete discography."
Can I add video to my CV presentation?
Yes. After generating the slides, you can embed a short video introduction. Or use PowerPoint to Video to convert your slide deck into a video resume.
Does it work with non-English CVs?
Absolutely. The AI supports Arabic, French, Spanish, German, Turkish, and more. Arabic CVs get proper RTL layout automatically.
Can I upload a LinkedIn profile instead of a CV?
Currently, you need to export your LinkedIn profile as PDF first (LinkedIn β More β Save to PDF), then upload the PDF to the converter.
