Biodata (Formal)
The formal biodata layout many public-sector and traditional employers ask for: personal particulars first, then educational qualifications with marks, experience, and a signed declaration with place and date at the foot of the page.
Made for applicants to a public-sector post, where a formal biodata is expected.
Free to fill in and to read in full. $1.99 once, for that CV, only when you want the PDF.

Questions
Is Biodata (Formal) free to use?
Building it and reading the finished document are free. You pay $1.99 once, for that CV, when you want the PDF; after that you can edit it and download it again for as long as you like.
Will it pass an applicant tracking system?
Yes. It is one column with no tables or graphics, so a parser reads it in the order you wrote it.
Can I keep it to one page?
It uses as many pages as your content needs, and sections continue across pages instead of leaving gaps. If you need exactly one page, several templates here are set for that.
Can I change the template later?
Yes. Your content is kept separately from the design, so you can move the same CV to any of the 52 templates and see the result before deciding.
Not sure this is the right format?
A job biodata leads with personal particulars, followed by educational qualifications with marks, work experience, skills, and a signed declaration with place and date. It is used mainly for public-sector, bank and administrative applications; private-sector employers expect a resume instead.
