    Not online, but if you visit your local careers service, they will be able to provide you with help & a template\printing etc. (It's not just for school leavers these days).
    Don't see the point anymore in offering advice to people who only want to be agreed with...

    Hi Emilie

    Somebody asked a similar question on DFW a few weeks ago (see link).

    http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=357604

    As mentioned in post #2 in that thread, I am more than happy to design a CV for you (or anyone else!), as indeed I did for the OP of the above thread.

    Feel free to PM me...

    You can download many free templates for CVs which you can use with Word, Works or Open Office (which is free) and then it is a simple case of populating it.

    CVs do have to stand out from the crowd though (in a good way) and need to be tailored to the sort of role you are going for (a project manager CV will look very different to an operations manager which will be different to a school leaver). I personally would recommend at look at the different templates both in terms of design and content/ headings and then create your own based on what you feel is best for you.

    Why do you want cv builder, instead of searching for a Ready made site, Though there are many sites on net but the link which i put in this sentence is excellent. www*samplecvs.org

    MS-Word certainly used to have plenty of template options. I know I am still using one of theirs and had it over ten years now..
