A worked CV sample for your profession
29 professions, each with an example CV and a section-by-section guide to writing your own: what belongs in every part, the keywords that field is screened on, and the mistakes that get a file filtered out.
Start here2
Tech & engineering4
Software Engineers & IT
Stack, projects and GitHub arranged so a keyword filter finds your technologies before a hiring manager reads your code.
Engineering
A worked mechanical, civil and electrical sample covering project scale, CAD and analysis tools, chartership and design standards.
Startup & Product
Show what you shipped and the metrics you moved, and describe cross-functional work without inflating your title.
Data Analyst
An annotated analytics resume: the tools named exactly as they are searched, and bullets that end in a decision rather than a dashboard.
Business & finance6
Sales & Business Development
Quota attainment, revenue and pipeline written as evidence, so "responsible for sales" never appears on your CV.
Banking & Finance
An annotated credit, corporate banking and audit sample built around benchmarked numbers and the credentials screeners check first.
Management & MBA
Team size, budget and P&L impact framed for senior recruiters, with the leadership keywords they filter on.
Accountant
An annotated CPA resume: licence and state, close ownership, the ERP named outright, and audit work that shows the numbers were checked.
Project Manager
An annotated PM resume: delivery record first, methodology second, and every bullet tied to a baseline the reader can check you against.
Human Resources
An annotated HR resume: attrition, time-to-fill and cases handled as numbers, written for the one field where the reader does your job for a living.
Marketing & creative2
Healthcare & education5
Teaching
An annotated secondary teacher CV: QTS and induction, safeguarding and DBS, and classroom results a head of department can size up.
Doctors, Nurses & Healthcare
A worked medical sample covering registration, college membership, audit and publications, and when a post wants a form instead.
Nurse
An annotated US registered nurse resume: license and state, BLS and ACLS dates, unit ratios, and the EMR hospitals filter by name.
Social Worker
An annotated LCSW resume: licence and state, ASWB exam status, caseload sizes, supervision hours, and the systems agencies search for by name.
Medical Assistant
An annotated US medical assistant resume: the CMA credential and where to put it, clinical and administrative bullets split, patient volume, and the EHR clinics search for by name.
Operations & public sector10
Customer Service & Support
Service metrics, tools and the soft skills a recruiter can verify, instead of one line claiming good communication.
Administrative & Office
Executive assistant, office manager and front-desk CVs built on concrete examples of what you kept running.
Government & NGO
The formal structure these employers expect: education first, the required personal details, and every circular requirement matched.
Airline Pilot
An annotated airline pilot resume: the flight time block, certificates and medical, and the one-page discipline aviation actually expects.
Electrician
An annotated journeyman resume: license and OSHA up front, job scale in amps and square feet, and a safety record stated as the asset it is.
Chef
An annotated chef resume: food cost held against a target, covers per night, and a brigade kept staffed — the numbers a GM hires on.
Truck Driver
An annotated CDL-A resume: miles, record and endorsements stated like the scorecard they are, because recruiters screen the record before the work history.
Warehouse Associate
An annotated warehouse associate resume: forklift classes and evaluation dates, pick rate and accuracy, the WMS by name, and what changes on a UK warehouse operative CV.
Security Guard
An annotated US security officer resume: where the Guard Card goes, post and site size instead of duty lists, incident reporting, and the access-control systems sites search for by name.
Automotive Technician
An annotated US automotive technician resume: where the ASE certifications go, comeback rate and first-time fix instead of duty lists, EPA 609, and the scan tools shops recruit around by name.
Three steps from sample to finished CV
Find your field
Pick the sample closest to the job you are applying for. Adjacent roles share most of the same advice, so an exact title match is not required.
Read the section breakdown
Each guide covers the header, summary, experience, skills and education in that profession's terms, along with the keywords its recruiters screen on.
Write your own
Open the matching template in the editor and draft your version with a live ATS score beside it, then export a PDF that parses cleanly.

About these samples
Are these resume samples free?
Yes. Every sample and its guide is free to read, with no account needed. Building your CV in the editor is free too; downloading the finished PDF without a watermark needs a plan, which starts at $4.99 for a 7-day pass.
My exact job title is not listed. Which sample should I use?
Pick the closest field. Most of the advice in a sample carries over to adjacent roles, because ATS parsers and recruiters read the same sections in the same order regardless of title. A data analyst, for example, gets most of what they need from the software engineering sample plus the metrics advice in the marketing one.
Can I copy the wording from a sample?
Use the structure and the phrasing patterns, not the sentences. Every bullet in these samples pairs an action with a number from a fictional candidate's record. Copying those numbers into your own CV would misrepresent your experience, and recruiters check.
Will a CV built from these samples pass an ATS?
The layouts are single-column, table-free and export as selectable text, which is what applicant tracking systems parse most reliably. Passing also depends on your content matching the job posting, so each guide lists the keywords that field is screened on, and the editor scores your draft as you write.
