A compact, practical path to fix and modernize the CV posted by . Replies from , , and correctly flagged missing document structure, inline table layout, character-encoding corruption and fixed-width rendering. The checklist below orders fixes by impact and gives a minimal HTML5 pattern that can be used as a safe starting point.

  1. Back up the original and work on a copy (use simple versioning).
  2. Convert to an HTML5 document: add <!doctype html>, lang on <html>, meta charset="utf-8" and meta name="viewport" to enable mobile scaling.
  3. Fix mojibake (garbled accents): open the file in a text editor and re-save as UTF-8 (no BOM); confirm the server sends Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8.
  4. Replace tables used for layout with semantic elements (header, main, section, footer) and simple structures like a dl for date/role pairs; keep tables only for true tabular data.
  5. Move presentation to an external stylesheet (no inline width, cellpadding etc.). Use Flexbox or Grid for two-column header (photo + contact).
  6. Accessibility and ATS: use ordered headings, descriptive alt text, logical reading order and keep a plain-text or PDF resume for Applicant Tracking Systems.
  7. Validate markup and test at multiple widths and with a screen reader; stage the corrected file before making it public (as @almostbob suggested).

Minimal HTML5 skeleton (starter):

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1">
  <title>Curriculum Vitae — Name</title>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
  <header class="cv-header">
    <div class="profile">
      <h1>Name</h1>
      <p><a href="mailto:name@example.com">name@example.com</a></p>
    </div>
    <img src="profile.jpg" alt="Photo of Name" width="120" height="120">
  </header>
  <main><!-- sections for experience, education, languages --></main>
</body>
</html>

Priority: fix encoding and document structure first, then move layout into CSS and test responsiveness. Validation and cleanup will make the CV both readable by humans and parsers, while addressing the quality concerns raised by and .

Hi, try the W3C validator:

There are some errors like missing tags or inline styles into the table tags, try to fix them using the tips and the suggestions given by the validator.

you can press ctrl + u "in firefox" to view errors of your page, but first I saw you don't have not met any html rules, no <html> tag no <head>
This code just corrected few lines: BTW how you are a web designer and you have errors in simple html code ?

I didn´t do it the ´officialy´ way (I was in a hurry!). That´s why!

I suggest you not to use the answer for the question because it implies your work quality to your client. You need to be careful!

You should not define attribute to your table/table cells but rather use CSS. Only clients that have no idea of how to create a web page would fall for, but a professional or company that have professional will easily reject you because of the way your script it. The reason is purely the maintenance which is what they concern the most. Applying CSS on a web page demonstrate your expertise and how organize you are.

Another "proffessional" who cant create their resume in the language they claim to be profficient in.
Links to your resume, from this well SEIndexed thread where you state your incompetence, will not help your employment search.

Move your resume when it is corrected, to a host not linked from here

It needs to be

  • html5 css3 compliant,
  • css layout not tables,
  • responsive not fixed dimension,

for you to be taken seriously
