The ability to create a professional Curriculum Vitae (CV) is a crucial factor in job-seeking success, especially for new graduates. However, access to quality CV-creation tools is often hindered by subscription fees or limited features in free versions. As a form of community service, the author developed and published CVPro Builder — a web-based automatic CV generator application that can be freely accessed by all members of society without requiring account registration. The application is built using HTML5, CSS3, and plain JavaScript, and deployed on the Railway platform at the public URL https://cvdigital-production.up.railway.app/. Key features include a multi-section input form (profile, work experience, education, skills, languages, and certifications), real-time CV preview, color theme selection, profile photo upload, and direct export to print-quality PDF. The interface design employs a two-column layout with a colored sidebar and white content area, producing a professional appearance comparable to paid templates. With full accessibility at no cost and without installation, CVPro Builder is expected to make a tangible contribution to improving the employability of Indonesians, particularly new graduates entering the workforce.
