CV Template Library: 11 Formats in Word and PDF

How to use a template

1. Download the Word file of the format you like.
2. Replace the guidance text in each section with your own details. The file tells you what to write where.
3. Delete the sections you do not need and keep the headings as they are.
4. Save a copy as PDF and send that, unless the employer asks for a Word file.

What every template has in common

All 11 files use Arial or Times New Roman, real heading styles and a real bullet list, so they stay tidy when you edit them. Nine formats are single column. The modern format and the two table formats (Europass-style and German) use a simple two column table and nothing else: no text boxes, no images, no icons.

The UK National Careers Service advises a clear font such as Arial or Times New Roman at size 11 or bigger, with headings and bullet points to make a CV easy to read. The templates are built that way.

The CV builder takes your details once and gives you the same 11 formats filled in, as Word or PDF.
