Frequently Asked Questions
Must the photo go right or left?
Standard is top right. But more important is the gaze direction: Always look towards the center of the page. If you look right, place the photo left – and vice versa.
CV or Cover Page?
A cover page offers more space for a large, impressive photo. In the CV it looks more compact and factual. Both are allowed – choose what fits your application better.
Key Takeaways
- Gaze Direction: The gaze should always point to the text, not away from the page.
- Layout Decides: Adapt the position to your CV design.
