It’s more than okay to use a CV template. A CV template saves you lots of time by providing you with a pre-formatted CV that you simply download to your computer or device and fill in with your own details. Be sure to learn how to write a CV before editing your download though, or your finalised CV might lack important details.
Online CV templates should be compatible with applicant tracking systems (ATS) — software that scans CVs and cover letters for keywords. Graphics, uncommon file formats, and rare fonts can prevent the ATS from reading your CV properly. So we’ve made sure you have a library of ATS-friendly CV templates at your disposal as you hunt for the job of your dreams.
Our CV builder templates are designed to be suitable for any job, no matter what your background is. But keep these guidelines in mind when choosing a template:
Here’s what makes a good CV:
Yes, you can absolutely make a CV with no experience.
If you’re using our builder to make a CV for your first job, add additional sections that showcase your informal experience and achievements. Our builder allows you to add volunteering experience, awards, and various other types of experience that can boost your CV when you don’t have work experience.
Yes, you do need a matching cover letter for your CV. Format your cover letter the same as you formatted your CV. That means:
If you don’t know how to write a cover letter or think it’s too much hard work, speed up the process with a cover letter builder.
Any CV template you find on this website has a matching cover letter template you can use to save time and create a visually consistent application.
Yes, you should use a different CV for every job. Adjusting your CV for each job shows employers you understand what they’re looking for in candidates.
At a minimum, use the company’s name in your cover letter and CV personal statement, include keywords from the job advert in your CV, and write something in your cover letter about why you especially want to work for the company or that shows you know something about the company’s goals or history.
