Frequently asked questions
Practical details about formatting, ATS compatibility, and customizing the London British CV template.
Should a UK CV have a photo?
No. UK recruiters expect CVs without photographs, and equality law means personal details like age and marital status are left off.
Is a UK CV one page or two?
Two pages is standard for experienced applicants. Graduates can use one page if the content genuinely fits.
Is the London British CV template really ATS-friendly?
ATS products and employer configurations differ, so this template cannot guarantee parsing or screening results. Check the layout and exported text, use accurate role-specific content, and follow the employer's file instructions. Any compatibility percentage shown on this page is not an independent test by an ATS provider.
Can I download my resume as a PDF or Word file for free?
You can export a PDF, Microsoft Word (DOCX), or plain-text (TXT) file without a watermark. Review the downloaded file before sending it and follow the employer's requested file format. ATS products and employer settings differ, so no template or export can guarantee parsing in every system.
Is this resume template completely free?
The resume builder and PDF, DOCX, and TXT exports are available without payment or an account. Online AI or analysis tools may depend on service availability; see the Privacy Policy for details about how submitted information is processed.
Do I need to create an account to use this template?
No account is required to use the builder. Drafts are stored in your browser; some online features send submitted information to configured services for processing. See the Privacy Policy for details.
