An Arabic CV that reads right — and an English one too

Right to left, done properly

The layout, headings and lists mirror for Arabic, while phone numbers, email addresses, websites and LinkedIn links stay left to right so they read correctly.

Fonts for each script

Choose Arabic fonts such as Cairo, Tajawal, Amiri, Noto Kufi Arabic or Scheherazade New; Latin fonts such as Inter, Roboto, Lato, Merriweather, Playfair Display or Source Sans; or Noto Sans and IBM Plex Sans Arabic, which cover both. An Arabic name inside an English CV keeps its Arabic letters in the PDF.

Western digits, everywhere

Dates and numbers use Western digits (2024, 18%) in both languages, and Arabic-Indic digits you type or import are converted for you.

A grammar check for your Arabic

On a paid plan, the editor's Spelling and grammar panel checks the grammar of the Arabic in your CV or cover letter when you ask it to — the whole document or one section, up to 20 times a day. Each suggestion is marked in blue with a short reason, and nothing changes until you apply it.

• It corrects grammar only and is built never to change a name, a number or a fact. The fields that hold names — yours, your employers’ and your schools’ — are never sent to be checked
• The checks renew every day at midnight UTC; the editor shows how many are left and when they renew, in your own time. A check uses no points

One language per CV — both when you need them

A CV holds one language at a time. To send both, duplicate it and write the second version, or translate it with AI into a new copy for 3 points.

Templates with Arabic roots

Heritage templates such as Amiri Elegant, Naskh Heritage and Cultural Modern, alongside Gulf Corporate and Bilingual Bridge, were designed with Arabic typography in mind.
