Should I Use A Template For CV?
Read Our Advice Before You Decide

We believe there are times when a free resume or CV template can win you a job interview and there's one at the bottom of this page.

But we also believe these times are becoming less and less, for 3 reasons:

  1. Increased competition in the jobs market, as employment rates rise.
  2. Increased sophistication among job hunters, keen to be one step ahead of other applicants.
  3. The low cost of having a tailor-made resume or CV written for you, making free templates less attractive.

So When Can I Use A Template For CV?

In our view, a free template for CV can be used only where there is little competition and/or where employers are likely to have lower expectations, such as lower graded jobs.

In our opinion, and in the opinion of many industry professionals, you will have trouble winning interviews for tough jobs with free CV templates.

And it's not like you have to spend a lot getting a good CV written for you. It is possible to have a professional write a resume or CV for you for only $50 or £25, though like everything, standards go up with prices.

Our advice? Get a personal recommendation or look for a professional Company with good feedback and who offer some form of guarantee should your CV or resume not win you interviews. This keeps the Company working for you! Giving you free updates for 12 months let's say, is also a bonus.

There are many good Companies out there who will write a resume for you and we've listed what we believe to be the top three.

And if you find a good one, let us know.
