Having multiple resumes on hand within your ConnectCV account makes the job of tailoring your resume much more convenient. You are then able to simply select the most suitable version as the basis of your tailored resume, saving yourself valuable time and effort. Back to topCan I delete my resume? Yes you can delete any resume within your account.

Any verified items will also be contained in the Verified Items section of your account. A verified item can only be deleted from your account upon specific request from you. Deleting a verified item means that should you require this verification in the future, you will have to pay for the verification again. Back to topCan I upload my own word resume into ConnectCV?
