CV templates

Every CinnoVate template is a strict A4 layout you fill in online — no Word file to fight with, no fonts that shift when you send it. All 23 are free to use, on one page or several.

Which layout suits which CV

The eight styles below cover most situations. Switching between them never changes your content, so you can try several before you download.

Modern

Two columns, dark sidebar

Tech, data and analytics roles where skills and tools need to be visible at a glance.

Harbor

Header band with photo

Client-facing roles — sales, account management, hospitality — where a photo is expected.

Elegant

Centred serif, single column

Design, academia, law and other fields where a traditional look reads as credible.

Ledger

Left-labelled sections

Long careers: labels keep a dense history scannable across two or three pages.

Banded

Soft tinted headings

Finance, audit and operations CVs that are mostly text and need clear structure.

Onyx

High-contrast sidebar

Engineering CVs with long tool and language lists.

Ivory

Serif with right rail

Marketing, communications and creative roles.

Sage

Muted colour sidebar

Project and programme management, healthcare and education.

Prefer to see them side by side? The homepage gallery shows eight miniatures you can open directly.

How to choose a CV template

Match the reading order

Recruiters scan the top third of page one. If your strongest evidence is your recent job, choose a single-column layout that puts experience there rather than a sidebar that pushes it down.

Only use a photo if it's expected

Photos are normal in much of continental Europe and unusual in the UK, Ireland and the US, where they can complicate anonymised screening. Two of our layouts include one; the rest don't.

Keep it machine-readable

Heavy graphics, text boxes and columns of icons are where automated parsing breaks. Every template here uses real headings and text, and the live score tells you when something isn't parsing.
