• Modern CV + cover letter: a colour accent and a strong name line, for marketing, sales and business roles
• Minimal CV + cover letter: light type and space, for tech, engineering and research
• Graduate CV + cover letter: education first, then skills and part-time work, on one page
• A start-here guide: how to edit in each app, why these layouts pass applicant tracking systems, and UK writing tips (personal statement formula, action verbs with numbers, no photo or date of birth)

Built for ATS: one column, real text, no text boxes, tables or images; dates sit on a right tab stop so they stay aligned while you edit; standard UK section names (Personal statement, Employment history, Education, Key skills).

Every sample is fully written (realistic UK roles, fictional people) so you can see how strong bullets read, then type over them.

• Fill-in guide in every file: a “Fill in with AI” chapter with ready-made sentences for an AI chat assistant, matched to the template’s fields
