About CVTemplates

CVTemplates helps UK applicants turn their experience into a clear, editable CV. The library is organised around career situations, jobs and designs, from a first job at 16 to an academic application.

What you can use

Each of our templates has a complete fictional example, a Word download, a PDF and advice for adapting the structure. They come in nine designs, from Classic to Plain, and every design has a blank version. Our CV examples by job match each line of a fictional CV to the tasks the National Careers Service lists for that job, and the cover letter templates match the CV designs. You can also edit a CV in your browser, arrange its sections and download your work.

All current templates and tools are free. Downloads have no email gate, account requirement or payment step.

Examples, not credentials

The people, employers, projects and achievements in our sample CVs are fictional. They illustrate how to describe evidence. Replace them with accurate details from your own experience; do not use a sample achievement as your own.

Our writing guidance draws on UK careers resources including the National Careers Service. It is general help, not a review of your individual qualifications or a promise of an interview. Read how we make and check the templates.

Your details stay with you

The editor works in your browser and does not send your CV to us or to an AI service. Save a local draft before leaving the page. Our privacy page explains the difference between local editing and contacting the site.
