There are prompts to help you with this. They are standard CV's and it will generally be up to personal preference as to which one you will choose to use. It would be useful to have basic word skills to work with the documents. Delete any information not required by selecting and using the Delete key. Remember a hard page break is Ctrl Enter. Use this instead of just continually using the enter key as this can muck up formatting.
