Fill in your details
Your name, job title, photo and contacts, a short profile, then your jobs, education, skills and languages. Each section flows into place; click anything on the page to edit it.
Download and apply
A PDF to send or upload, a Word file to keep editing (the same file opens in Google Docs), or plain text for job sites that want it pasted into a form.
Creative and modern resume templates
Each creative resume template here is a full design: pastel shapes, bold yellow, a warm arch photo, a red sidebar, a teal header or dark. Change the colours and fonts and every section stays in place.
A modern resume template works best in design, marketing, media and creative jobs; keep the words clear and let one colour do the work.
When to use a creative design
For creative roles and smaller companies. For large employers that screen with software, send the simple ATS version as well.

Why it matters
Real text, not a picture
The Word file has your CV as text and tables you can edit, and the PDF keeps its text, so an applicant tracking system can read it.
One page, laid out for you
Sections flow down their columns. A long CV is set a little smaller to fit, and the page tells you when to trim.
Change the design any time
Your details stay when you switch designs, colours or fonts; the cover letter takes them too.

Questions
Can I use my own colours?
Yes: under Styles, pick a colour set or your own colours, and save them as your colours for next time.
What is the difference between a CV and a resume?
In the UK, Europe, Africa and much of Asia, a CV is the one or two pages you send with a job application. In the US and Canada that is called a resume, and a CV means a longer academic record. This maker makes both: pick the length and sections you need.
Should I put a photo on my CV?
It depends on the country: photos are common in much of Europe, Africa, Asia and the Middle East, and usually left off in the US, UK, Canada and Australia. Every design here works with or without one.
Will an applicant tracking system read it?
The simple ATS design is one column with standard headings, and its Word file has no tables or pictures. Every PDF here keeps its text as text. For the safest result, upload the Word file of the simple design.
