CV and cover letter templates

Use these downloadable templates to create your own CV or cover letter. You can also look at examples of completed CVs and cover letters to help you personalise your own documents.

Each template is in rich text format, so you can save it to your computer and update it at a later time in WordPad, Microsoft Word or TextEdit. Please note you cannot save these templates to your Careers New Zealand account – you must download them to your computer and work on them there.

If you want to create your CV online, use our online CV generator, CV4Me.
