About the Creative template

The Creative template keeps the easy-to-read single column of the Classic layout, but adds a teal-to-orange gradient header and coloured accents on section headings, company names and skill ratings.

It shows a bit of personality without sacrificing readability, so it works well for customer-facing and creative roles where first impressions count.

Best for

  • Marketing, design and social media roles
  • Hospitality, beauty and retail
  • Promoter and brand ambassador jobs
  • Standing out in a pile of printed CVs

Questions

Will the colours print properly?

Yes. The PDF uses solid colours that print cleanly on colour printers and stay readable in black and white.

Is it too informal for corporate jobs?

For banks, law firms or government posts, the Classic or Minimal template is a more conservative choice. You can switch templates at any time without retyping anything.
