Resume templates
Free resume and CV templates with clean hierarchies, plus a full academic CV. Add your details and export a PDF that stays readable to applicant tracking systems.
A resume is read in seconds by someone who is also reading forty others, so the work is prioritisation rather than decoration. Every line should either show impact or make the next line make sense. Three templates are included: a classic single-page resume, a design-forward modern version built around metrics, and a full academic CV with publications and talks.

Which one to pick
Use the classic when you are applying through a portal or an agency, the modern one when you are applying directly and the role expects visual confidence, and the academic CV when publications, grants and talks are the evidence that matters.
Frequently asked questions
- One page or two?
- One page for most roles under ten years of experience. Two is fine when it genuinely carries the evidence, and is expected for academic CVs.
- Will it pass applicant tracking systems?
- Simple hierarchies export as searchable PDF text. Keep to a single column if the posting asks for an ATS-friendly file.
- What if I have gaps in my history?
- Lead with what you did and what changed as a result. The template orders roles by relevance to the job you want, not only by date.
