New curriculum vitae templates have joined the broad selection of free career-building resources at the FreePrintable.net websites.

"I've just added nearly two dozen new sample CVs for a variety of industries and academic pursuits," said Kevin Savetz, the site's creator. "These complement the selection of resumes at InstantResumeTemplates.com."

The FreePrintable.net family of sites also has free printable cover letters, letters of recommendation, character reference letters, and resignation letters at: CoverLetterExamples.net, LettersOfRecommendation.net, CharacterReferenceLetters.com and ResignationLetters.biz.

With the new additions to CVTemplates.net, there are now 328 curriculum vitae samples at the site, each free to download, customize and print. The templates are available in both letter and A4 size.

The new templates include samples for specific jobs such as retail essential workers, social media specialists, distance learning teachers and other academic pursuits. Some of the CV designs have room for a picture, eliminate a street address or have other special configurations. New skills table style designs contain bulleted sections.

There's also an expanded selection of templates designed to be compliant with Applicant Tracking System (ATS) software that is used by many human resources departments.

Any of the designs at the site can be altered by typing into the template using Microsoft Word, adjusting the wording to suit other positions or roles. The CVs are professionally designed in easy-to-read formats. There are one or two columns and centered or left-aligned designs.

Some of the CVs are chronological while others are focused on skills. CVs are very similar to resumes but are more common in the academic world and in Europe.

"Just find a CV that's close to what you need and then type over the placeholder text with your own information," Savetz said. "And users should be sure to check out other FreePrintable.net sites for job-hunting and career development resources."

There are more than 100 sites in the FreePrintable.net family of free printables sites created by Savetz Publishing, Inc., a company devoted to creating useful and informative web sites of interest to consumers and small businesses.
