DexterCV is a free online CV maker for Dubai jobs: pick a UAE-ready A4 template, fill in your details or import an existing CV, check it against ATS rules, and export a PDF. The free plan needs no card — you get one scan a day, three saved CVs and a watermarked download.
1
Upload an existing CV in PDF or Word and we parse it into editable sections, or start from a blank UAE template.
2
Every template is A4, single column and ATS-safe. Photo-compatible layouts are marked, since photos are common in the UAE.
3
A deterministic score — same CV, same score — with the specific parsing, keyword and formatting problems listed.
4
Download a clean PDF, or tailor a variant for a specific Dubai role and apply straight from Find Jobs.
Every template is A4 at 1.5–2 pages, the length Gulf recruiters expect for professional roles.
Fields for visa status, nationality, languages and emirate — the details UAE recruiters filter on.
Photo-compatible layouts that stay single-column, so parsers still read every section.
Yes. DexterCV is free to use with no card required — build a CV in a UAE-ready template, run one ATS scan per day, save up to three CVs and download a watermarked PDF. Removing the watermark and unlocking AI optimisation requires Pro, which starts at $15 for 30 days.
UAE conventions are built in: A4 rather than US Letter, 1.5–2 pages instead of one, header fields for visa status and nationality, optional photo layouts, and keyword guidance for free zones and sectors such as DIFC finance, real estate, hospitality and oil and gas.
Our templates are single-column, text-based and tested for clean parsing, which is what most applicant tracking systems used in the region need. Passing the filter also depends on keyword match to the specific job posting — the scanner shows you that gap before you apply.
Most UAE private-sector roles are recruited in English, and an English CV is the safe default. For government and semi-government roles that request Arabic, submit an Arabic version alongside the English one rather than mixing both in a single document.
Section order, length, photo and file-type rules in one page.
