Free resume and CV workspace
The EnglishTemplates Resume Builder combines editable English examples with original, light resume designs. Replace every sample detail with accurate information, choose the sections that support your application and review the final document before sending it to an employer, recruiter, client or academic institution.
Read the role carefully and identify the responsibilities, tools and results that genuinely match your experience. Use the employer’s language naturally where it is accurate.
Describe what you did, the context and the result. Specific outcomes, scale, time saved, quality improved or revenue supported are stronger than unsupported adjectives.
Use consistent dates, concise bullets, familiar section headings and enough white space. Export a PDF unless the application instructions require another file type.
Most resumes need a clear name and professional headline, reliable contact details, a concise summary, relevant work experience, education and role-specific skills. Projects, certifications, languages, awards or volunteering can add useful evidence when they strengthen the application. References are normally included only when requested or customary in the relevant market.
Experience entries should make the role, organization, location and dates easy to scan. Use short bullets that begin with strong verbs and explain a contribution or outcome. Do not invent numbers or responsibilities. If a result cannot be measured honestly, describe the improvement, audience, deliverable or scope in concrete terms.
An applicant tracking system may extract text from an uploaded resume before a person reviews it. A simple single-column structure, familiar headings and readable typography generally reduce parsing problems. Decorative two-column templates may still be suitable when a human will receive the PDF directly, but no design can guarantee acceptance by every system.
Choose one of the templates labeled ATS friendly when automated screening is likely. The PDF export includes an extractable English text layer beneath the visual page, but parsing still varies by platform. Avoid placing essential facts only in the optional photo, follow the employer’s requested filename and file format, and always open the downloaded PDF to confirm that every page is complete.

Use a template clearly labeled ATS friendly when automated parsing is important. These designs use a simple single-column reading order, but you should still keep familiar headings and follow the employer’s requested file format.
Yes. A photo is optional and can be hidden in the Design panel. Requirements and professional conventions differ by country, industry and employer, so use a photo only when it is appropriate.
Use Fit content to reduce spacing within readable limits, remove unrelated material and keep bullets concise. Do not shrink text so far that the resume becomes difficult to read. Experienced candidates may reasonably need two pages.
Yes. Open the Sections panel to add entries, rename the custom section, hide sections and change their order. The live preview and exported file update immediately.
The words are used differently across countries and professions. In many job markets, a resume is a concise employment document, while an academic CV can be much longer. Use the term expected by the receiving organization.
