How to Choose the Right Template

The best CV template depends on your industry, career level, and the type of role you are applying for. Here is a quick guide to help you decide:

  • Modern works well for most applications. Its two-column layout makes efficient use of space and looks professional in both digital and printed form.
  • Classic is the safest choice for traditional industries such as finance, law, and the public sector where conservative formatting is expected.
  • Minimal appeals to designers, architects, and academics who prefer clean aesthetics. The generous whitespace lets your content breathe.
  • Executive conveys authority and is best suited for senior positions. The dark header makes a strong first impression.
  • Creative allows you to show personality through colour and layout. Ideal for marketing, media, and design roles where visual flair is valued.
  • ATS-Friendly should be your default when applying through online portals or recruitment agencies. Its plain formatting ensures maximum compatibility with applicant tracking software.

Remember, you can switch between templates at any time without losing your data. Try a few to see which one presents your experience most effectively.
