CV template download but don't have MS Office 365 installed

davidscot

Hello and thanks in advance for any help here. I am currently looking to move jobs and need to compose a relevant CV.
Seems to be a multitude of those available but all seem to need MS Office 365 to download. I do not have MS Office installed on this laptop as yet.
Is there any way round this or will I need to buy and install MS Office 365 to be able to download a CV template
Thanks again

wps office is microsoft compatible. It's also free.

OP, when you save remember to save and forward as a Word document not the proprietary one because most employers will be using MS and won't spend time trying to open anything else

Thanks for that, could you run me through how to do that please?
Bit of a loss with this technology, if you could help would be much appreciated

I normally send my C.V. in two formats PDF and MS Word, but sometimes just PDF.  I may now change that after reading this article (American) on the best formats for CVs.
