How to create a CV and download it as a Word file (.docx)
The Word file is created from the CV you write in the online editor. You do not need Microsoft Word to create the CV, only to open the file afterward.
1. Create your CV
Enter your name and choose a language. The editor opens without an account or email address. Add your work experience, education, and skills, or start from an example CV.
Start your CV2. Choose a Word template
Pick a template with a Word download. Your details stay in place when you switch templates, so you can try several. Word templates show a Word icon on their card.
3. Download the Word file
Select Download Word. The .docx file opens in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, LibreOffice, and other programs that read .docx. Edit it as often as you need.
What you get in your downloaded Word CV
The Word file is built to be edited, not just viewed.
Real, editable text
Every line is text you can select and change in Word or Google Docs. Nothing in the file is an image of your CV.
Standard Word formatting
Headings, dates, and bullet points use normal Word styles and real bullet lists. You can restyle the whole document from the Styles pane in Word.
Single-column layouts
Word is built for text that flows from top to bottom, so the Word templates use one clean column. Sidebar and two-column templates are available as PDF.
Your CV language
Section headings and dates follow the language of your CV, in the Word file as well as in the PDF.
No watermark
The Word file contains only your CV. There is no logo, footer text, or watermark.
Free, unlimited downloads
Download the Word file and the PDF as many times as you want, with no payment step and no account.
Word CV or PDF: which should you send?
You get both from the same CV. Which one to use depends on what the employer asks for and whether you want to keep editing.
What you get with a Word CV template
A Word CV template is a CV layout saved as a .docx file that you edit in Microsoft Word or a compatible program. You enter your details once in the online editor, and the Word file is created with your content already in place and the formatting done for you.
Each Word template follows the look of its PDF as closely as the format allows, with the same content, headings, and section order. Each of the 19 Word templates is a professionally designed single-column layout with standard headings, dates, and bullet lists, which keeps the document reliable when it opens in Word, Google Docs, or LibreOffice.
The Word files use Calibri, Cambria, Georgia, or Arial, fonts that come with Microsoft Word, so the document looks the same on most computers.
