CV / Resume template.

A clean, ATS-ready Google Doc. Single column, four sections, no graphics. The format recruiters actually scan. Make a copy, tailor it to the role, and you're ready to apply.

Filled with example content so you can see what good looks like. Yours will read just like this once you copy and tailor it.

How to use it.

Four steps. Twenty-ish minutes for the first pass. The CV writing guide goes deeper on each section if you want it.

  1. Open and copy.

    Click the button below. The file opens in Google Docs as view-only. Hit File → Make a copy, save it to your own Drive, and you can edit. Don't request edit access; it'll just sit in our queue.

  2. Fill in the placeholders.

    Top-down: contact details, professional summary, then experience newest-first. Education last. Each bracketed [placeholder] shows what kind of detail goes there. Keep the formatting; don't add columns or graphics.

  3. Quantify every bullet you can.

    Numbers, percentages, currency. £500K beats "significant revenue", and 32% beats "improved conversion". The Graduate CV guide and Early-career CV guide have full examples.

  4. Save versions, not edits.

    One CV per category of job, not one CV per application. Duplicate the file (File → Make a copy) and rename: "Alex Morgan, Senior PM, 2026.04". When you apply, export as PDF, never share the editable Doc.
