Choosing a professional template

Lots of experience

Compact and Digest fit a long history on fewer pages. Register and Ledger give dates a column of their own, so a career reads at a glance.

Law, finance and consulting

Docket's boxed headings and serif type suit fields where precision is the message.

Management and leadership

Sidebar designs such as Sterling, Onyx and Meridian give skills and contact details a column of their own, leaving the main column for your results. They are made to be read by a person, so keep a one-column copy for portals.
