Entry Level
Student CV
Lead with education, then projects, then part-time work. One page is enough for most students. Skip internships you did not do. Skip this example if you already have two relevant placements — use the graduate page and two pages instead.
Explore →Entry Level
Graduate CV
Name the scheme in the profile, put the degree high, and give two placement or project proofs. Two pages is normal for UK schemes that ask for two. Skip “eager graduate” openers. Skip this page if you have three years in post — you are not a graduate applicant.
Explore →Entry Level
Internship CV
Treat the internship hunt like a job: one page, education first, then projects that look like work. Skip a two-page life story. Skip this example if the advert is a graduate scheme — that is a different document.
Explore →Entry Level
School Leaver CV
One page: GCSEs or equivalent, any vocational course, part-time work, and a short profile that names the apprenticeship or job. Skip university language. Skip this page if you already have a degree.
Explore →Entry Level
Apprenticeship CV
Name the apprenticeship standard in the profile, show English and Maths, and prove you can attend and complete. One page. Skip a CV written like a graduate scheme. Skip this if you are already qualified in the trade and applying for experienced hire.
Explore →Entry Level
Part-Time Job CV
One page, availability in the profile, and two proofs of reliability (shifts, till, caring). Skip a corporate two-pager. Skip this example if you are applying for a professional full-time role — use the occupation page instead.
Explore →Entry Level
Volunteer CV
Treat volunteering like work: organisation, dates, caseload or hours, result. One page unless you also have a professional history to keep. Skip listing every bake sale. Skip this page if volunteering is a one-line extra on a two-page professional CV.
Explore →Entry Level
Gap Year CV
Label the year as a dated block with what you actually did (work, travel with a job, volunteering, a course). One page. Skip a travel diary. Skip this if the year was unemployment with no activity — use the gaps guide and one honest line instead.
Explore →Technology
Software Developer CV
Lead with the stack you actually shipped, then two systems with scale. Two pages. Skip icon skill clouds. Skip this example if you are a new graduate with only course work — use the student or graduate page and one page.
Explore →Technology
Frontend Developer CV
Show shipped UI, accessibility, and the framework the advert names. Two pages for mid-level. Skip a screenshot collage. Skip this if you are applying for backend-only roles with no UI — the frontend proof will not help.
Explore →Technology
Backend Developer CV
Prove data, APIs, reliability. Name stores and queues you ran in production. Two pages. Skip frontend decoration. Skip this page if you are a full-stack generalist applying to a full-stack seat — use that example so the UI work is not missing.
Explore →Technology
Full Stack Developer CV
Show one vertical slice you owned: UI to datastore. Two pages. Skip listing every library on both sides. Skip this if the advert is backend-only or frontend-only — send the specialist cut.
Explore →Technology
DevOps Engineer CV
Show pipelines, runtime, and an incident you shortened. Two pages. Skip a cert dump with no clusters. Skip this if you are a developer who ran a GitHub Action once — that is not this job.
Explore →Technology
Data Scientist CV
Lead with a decision your model changed, not a Kaggle rank. Two pages. Skip a methods laundry list with no stakeholder. Skip this if the advert is a data-analyst SQL seat — use that example or you will look over-specified.
Explore →Technology
Data Analyst CV
Show SQL, a dashboard someone used, and a decision it supported. Two pages for experienced analysts; one if you are converting from another field with little proof. Skip “passionate about data”. Skip this if the advert wants machine learning — that is the data-scientist page.
Explore →Technology
Cyber Security CV
Lead with scope (estate size, clearance if you can say it, frameworks). Two pages. Skip movie-hacker language. Skip this if you are applying for a first SOC job with only a home lab — use a one-page student-style cut and name the lab honestly.
Explore →Technology
IT Support CV
Show ticket volume, time-to-resolve, and the stack you supported. One or two pages. Skip a fake architect title. Skip this if you are applying for engineering roles — this evidence will not substitute for shipped code.
Explore →Technology
QA Tester CV
Show the product, the risk you covered, and automation if you have it. Two pages for SDETs; one for manual-only juniors. Skip “I have an eye for detail” with no cases. Skip this if you want a developer role — testing proof is not a substitute for shipped features.
Explore →Technology
Product Manager CV
Lead with a product outcome, the constraint, and the team you worked through. Two pages. Skip a feature laundry list. Skip this if you have never owned a backlog — use BA or delivery examples instead of inflating the title.
Explore →Technology
UX Designer CV
The CV is a parseable index to a portfolio, not the portfolio. One or two pages of text plus a URL. Skip embedding ten images. Skip this if they asked only for a portfolio PDF with no CV — send what they asked.
Explore →Business & Operations
Project Manager CV
Lead with a delivered outcome, budget or timeline, and the constraint. Two pages. Skip a methodology slogan with no project. Skip this if you coordinated meetings but did not own delivery — use administrator or BA examples instead of inflating the title.
Explore →Business & Operations
Operations Manager CV
Show throughput, cost, people and a process you changed. Two pages. Skip generic “ensured smooth operations”. Skip this if you have never owned a team or a budget — that is a coordinator CV, not this one.
Explore →Business & Operations
Business Analyst CV
Show a requirement you clarified, a process you mapped, and a change that shipped. Two pages. Skip UML as decoration. Skip this if you are applying for product management without discovery ownership — the BA example is the honest file.
Explore →Business & Operations
Management Consultant CV
Lead with a client outcome you can name without breaking confidentiality. Two pages. Skip a logo salad. Skip this if you have not worked in consulting — a corporate strategy secondment is a different example.
Explore →Business & Operations
Office Manager CV
Prove the office ran: vendors, budget, people, a process you tightened. One or two pages. Skip “varied duties”. Skip this if you are applying for EA/PA roles that are diary-first — use those examples.
Explore →Business & Operations
Executive Assistant CV
Show the principal’s scope, the calendar load, and discretion. Two pages for senior EAs. Skip “I’m a people person”. Skip this if you want office-manager work — different job.
Explore →Business & Operations

Explore →Finance
Accountant CV

Explore →Finance
Financial Analyst CV
Show a model or pack that changed a decision. Two pages. Skip “strong analytical skills” with no artefact. Skip this if you are a bookkeeper — the artefacts are different.
Explore →Finance

Explore →Finance
Investment Banking CV
Deal list, your role on the deal, and the outcome. One page is still common for junior IB. Skip a two-page narrative. Skip this if you have no deal or markets experience — a general finance CV will not convert.
Explore →Finance
Tax Advisor CV
Show the tax, the clients or business, and a saving or risk you handled. Two pages. Skip “good with numbers”. Skip this if you only processed returns with no advice — say tax technician or bookkeeper instead.
Explore →Marketing

Explore →Marketing

Explore →Education
SEN Teacher CV
QTS plus SEN setting, EHCP caseload, and a progress proof. Two pages. Skip a photo. Skip this if you are a TA — use that example. The title “SEN teacher” without QTS is a problem.
