Are you struggling to update your CV? Do you need help to construct an impressive-looking CV so that it stands out more in a crowded job market?

I know how you feel. It can be a daunting and time-consuming task and I’ve always found it hard to get started when trying to upgrade my CV to the next level. I would spend ages playing around with the formatting to make it look just right, to the point where I’d inevitably give up and leave it unfinished until trying again a few months later. As you can imagine, I didn’t get very far. Finally, I decided I would use a CV template and I was surprised to discover that there are a lot of free and customisable tools out there.
