Why our ATS-friendly CV templates get read

Over 95% of large employers use applicant tracking systems (ATS) to screen CVs before a human reads them. A CV the software can't parse cleanly is easy to overlook — no matter how qualified you are. These templates use standard section headings, a clean parse-friendly structure, and a Word export in a single-column layout that screening software reads reliably.

CV vs resume: what’s different?

A CV (curriculum vitae) and a resume serve the same purpose — presenting your experience to an employer — but conventions differ by region:

  • Length: A CV can run two pages; resumes are typically kept to one. For academic or senior roles, CVs may be longer still.
  • Terminology: “CV” is standard in the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and much of Europe and Asia. “Resume” is the US and Canadian term. (In the US, “CV” specifically means a long academic document.)
  • Photo: In parts of Europe, the Middle East, and some other markets, a photo is common on a CV. In the UK, US, Canada, and Australia, leave it off to avoid bias-screening issues.
  • Structure: UK/AU CVs often open with a personal statement or professional summary, followed by experience in reverse-chronological order.

Our templates are ATS-friendly for all of these markets — pick the layout that fits your region and role.

CV templates for every stage

Whether you’re writing your first graduate CV, a student CV for a placement, an academic CV, or a professional CV after years in the workforce, the same ATS rules apply: clean structure, standard headings, and a format the software can read. All 21 templates work across career stages — choose the one that suits your experience level. Every curriculum vitae template exports as an editable CV template Word file, and you can try any free CV template, watermarked, before you unlock.

Frequently asked questions

Are these CV templates really ATS-friendly?
Yes — they use standard section headings, a clean single-column structure, and a Word export that applicant tracking systems parse reliably. Every ATS is different, so no template guarantees a pass, but these avoid the formatting traps that trip parsers up.
What's the difference between a CV and a resume?
They serve the same purpose. "CV" is the standard term in the UK, Australia, Ireland, and much of the world; "resume" is used in the US and Canada. A CV can run two pages; a resume is usually one. (In the US specifically, "CV" means a long academic document.)
Is the $9 really one-time?
Yes. One payment of $9 unlocks all 20 PRO CV templates — no subscription, no auto-renewal. The PDF and Word files you download are yours to keep.
Can I edit my CV after downloading?
Yes — the Word download is fully editable in Word or Google Docs, and you can re-edit and re-download within your ResumeBloke session.
Do these CV templates work in the UK and Australia?
Yes. They follow ATS-friendly conventions that work across UK, Australian, Canadian, and other markets. The "CV vs resume" section above covers regional differences like length and photos.
Should I put a photo on my CV?
It depends on your market. In parts of Europe and the Middle East a photo is common; in the UK, US, Canada, and Australia, leave it off to avoid bias-screening concerns. Our templates work both with and without.
