A CV template gives structure to information that’s often hard to organize on your own — work history, education, skills — in a layout that reads clearly to whoever’s reviewing it. Our CV templates range from clean and minimal to more visually distinctive designs, suited to different industries and levels of experience. Templates are editable in Canva for straightforward text updates, with Word versions available for anyone who prefers editing in Microsoft Word, particularly useful since many job applications expect a Word or PDF file directly. Fill in your own details, adjust the section layout if needed, and export as a PDF for applications. These work well for students, recent graduates, and professionals updating their CV for a new role, without needing design skills or paying for a CV builder subscription. All CV templates are free to download and edit for personal use.
