Frequently Asked Questions
Which CV template should I use for online applications?
If the employer uses an applicant tracking system (most large companies and job portals do), pick the ATS-Friendly Resume: one column, standard headings and plain text that the software reads reliably. Save designed layouts like the Modern Two-Column CV for applications you send by email.
What is the difference between a CV and a resume?
In the UK, Ireland, Europe and the Gulf, "CV" means the document you send with a job application, usually one or two pages. In the US and Canada the same document is called a resume and is usually one page. For country-specific rules, see the CV formats by country.
Do I need Microsoft Word to edit these CVs?
No. Click "Edit Word file online" on any template to edit it in your browser and download the result, or open the .docx file in Google Docs or LibreOffice.
Are the CV templates free to use?
Yes. Every template is free to download and edit, with no signup and no watermark.
