What makes a CV work for remote jobs
A remote employer needs the normal things plus three more: where you are, when you can work, and whether your setup holds up. So put your country and time zone near the top, state your working hours, and mention your internet and power backup in one plain line.
The builder leaves out a photo, your ID number and your date of birth. An employer abroad doesn't need them on a CV. A section you leave empty doesn't show at all.

Questions people ask
Do I have to sign up?
No. There's no account. Your text stays in your browser.
Should I put a photo on a CV for remote jobs?
This builder has no photo box, and an employer abroad doesn't need one to read your CV. If an advert asks for one, follow the advert.
