Yes, it is OK to highlight words in a CV by bolding them. But don’t bold too much text, or it won’t stand out and your CV will be hard to read. Only bold the most important words to pull the reader’s attention to the details in the surrounding text.
Don’t highlight words with coloured highlighting, italicising, or underlining, because these elements will make your CV appear unprofessional and difficult to scan.
Using a CV maker is an easy way to make sure your important information stands out and is easy to read. A good CV maker writes and formats content perfectly for you based on the basic information you provide.
