Resume & CV examples

Yes. Every example on this site is free to read, and every template is free to use in the editor with unlimited PDF exports and no watermark. There's no paywall between you and a finished resume.

No. Copy the structure — the way bullets lead with ownership and end with a result — and write the content from your own work. Recruiters read hundreds of resumes and recognise template language, and a generic page performs worse than a plain one written honestly.

One page for most people up to about eight to ten years of experience, two once you have enough substance that the second page isn't padding. Nursing, academia and senior technical roles routinely run to two pages; early-career resumes almost never should.

The structure will. Every example uses standard section headings, a single column of content, real text rather than images, and conventional date formats — which is what parsers need. The other half is keyword relevance to the specific posting, which is why each page includes a keyword bank for its role.

Use the closest example in the same field — the writing pattern is the transferable part, and the advice about metrics, scope and keywords applies to essentially any role. The general guides cover the rest, and the ATS score tool reviews whatever you write regardless of job title.

Not a different resume, but a tailored one. Change the summary, reorder the skills to match the posting's priorities, and promote the bullets that match what's being asked for. That's usually fifteen minutes of work and it's the single highest-return thing you can do.
