Frequently asked questions

Is CVLoom really free?

Yes — editing, all 283 templates, and PDF download are free, with no watermark and no card. There is no account at all: no signup, no login, nothing to cancel.

Will my PDF have selectable text for ATS systems?

Yes. Exports are generated by a real browser engine, so the PDF has true selectable text, embedded fonts, and clickable links — the things resume parsers need.

Can I switch templates without retyping anything?

Yes — your content and the design are stored separately, so switching templates re-flows the same content instantly and losslessly. Try every one of them.

Do I need my CDA to get hired as a dental assistant?

Not everywhere — many states allow on-the-job training. But expanded functions and radiography usually require certification, so list every credential you hold with its issuing body; it moves you up the stack fast.
