Standing out from other prospective employees on the job market is tough, but 'Ceev', a new browser extension available on Google Chrome, makes it a little easier. The CV builder uses templates to offer up elegant and customizable designs, but it even takes the stress out of inputting the correct information onto one's CV. Ceev scrapes all its information directly from LinkedIn, turning that online experience into a physical element that people can hand out when it comes time for the interview.
Ceev has several different templates available, with styles that range depending on the type of position that users are applying to. Once a template is selected, users can further customize their documents with things like color schemes, fonts, and page size, then the tool does the rest. Ceev is available for free as a download in the Google Chrome Store.
