Graduate CV Template UK – ATS-Friendly Word & PDF, Cover Letter, Skills-Based CV + Christmas Temp CV Bundle

A complete, editable CV toolkit for UK graduates and final-year students, built to pass applicant tracking systems and read well by real hiring managers. Every page is filled with realistic sample content from a fictional graduate, Jordan Ellis, so you can see exactly how each section should read before you swap in your own details. As a bonus, it includes a short seasonal CV for students applying to Christmas and holiday temp roles.

What's included:

• Experience-based graduate CV, one page, single column, no photos or text boxes so ATS software can read every word
• Skills-based CV variant for graduates whose experience is part-time, varied or not directly related to the role
• Matching cover letter template with a full worked example, ready to adapt paragraph by paragraph
• One-page guide to tailoring the CV for each application, including how to use AI for a first draft without sounding generic
• Bonus: a Christmas temp / seasonal job CV template for students, with an availability section employers ask for
• Two file formats: a designed HTML file you can print straight to PDF, and a plain HTML file that pastes cleanly into Word

How to use:

• Open cv-word.html in your browser, select and copy the section you need, and paste into Word (or open the file directly in Word) then save as .docx to edit
• Or open cv.html in your browser and choose Print > Save as PDF for a ready-to-send PDF version
• Replace Jordan Ellis's name, contact details and history with your own
• Read the guide page first, then rewrite each example bullet point using your own results, numbers and dates
• Delete the grey template labels at the top of each page and any pages you don't need before sending your CV
• Save each version clearly, for example Jordan-Ellis-CV-Alderwood.pdf, so you always send the right file
