I am really sorry if this has been asked before - does anyone know where I can get a good cv template download please? Don't want anything to fancy - just a professional looking layout.

Many thanks

    I don't know what you mean by "anything fancy" but CVs are very individual and a template isn't really a good idea. In fact, having just one CV isn't a terribly good idea either as different styles are useful for different types of jobs. Many people would have a variety of CVs on disc to tailor to a particular vacancy. If you're going to do a CV it's worth doing properly.

    Thank you for your opinion. Was hoping to get some ideas on layout as I haven't had to update mine for a few years. My company is closing in August and I wanted some ideas for the layout as I feel mine is out-dated.

    1.you try your local job centre.
    2.PC world sells a program to help you.
    3.Check some of the on line employment agencies eg https://www.monster.co.uk to get some ideas on formating your own CV
