Browse Word templatesMyCVCreator Word templates can be used for resumes and cover letters depending on the template style. Choose a layout that matches what you’re creating, then edit the text in Microsoft Word or compatible apps.
Yes. The templates use clear sections and simple formatting so ATS systems and recruiters can scan your content easily. For best ATS results, avoid adding heavy graphics, icons, or text boxes.
Pick based on your role and industry:
• Simple/Classic: best for corporate, admin, finance, and ATS clarity.
• Modern: good for tech, marketing, and business roles (keep it clean).
• Creative: suitable for design/media roles (stay readable and professional).
Open the downloaded file in Microsoft Word (or Word-compatible apps like Google Docs, WPS Office, or LibreOffice). Replace the sample text with your information, keep headings consistent, and update dates, skills, and achievements.

Create an accountCopy key keywords from the job post into your Skills section and rewrite 3–6 bullet points in your latest role to mirror the employer’s needs. Use action verbs and add numbers (percentages, time saved, revenue, tickets handled, projects delivered).
Avoid leaving placeholder text, changing formatting inconsistently, using too many fonts/colors, and adding large graphics that break ATS scanning. Always proofread and export to PDF before submitting (unless Word is requested).
