CV TEMPLATES

Eighteen layouts.
One CV underneath.

Write once, then switch layout as often as you like — nothing you have written changes. Sixteen of the eighteen are single-column, which is the shape applicant systems read most reliably. Six are written for Arabic, right to left, and four carry a photograph.

Building and switching layouts is free and unlimited. A free account includes one download — the real file, no watermark. Uplift Pro raises it to fifty a month.

A fixed order — none is ranked above another

Sample CVs. The people, employers and institutions on them are invented.

What the labels mean

Three facts are printed on every card. None of them is a rating — they describe the layout, not how good your CV is.

ATS-safe

Twelve of the eighteen

Applicant systems read a PDF from top to bottom. A single column gives them one order to follow, so nothing is read out of sequence. It is a statement about the layout — we cannot promise what any particular employer’s software will do with it.

Read with care

Four, for two different reasons

The Hybrid Split and The Sidebar Compact put two columns on the page. They look considerably better to a person, and some older systems read a two-column page column by column, which can interleave your dates. The Portrait and The Portrait Square carry a photograph, which is normal on a Gulf CV and a reason to reject the file in most of Europe and North America. Your content is identical in all four — only what the software makes of the page changes.

Arabic · RTL

Four, written in Arabic

Not a translation of an English layout: the page is set right to left, with Arabic type and Gulf conventions for dates and contact details. You can keep an English and an Arabic CV side by side and switch between them.

Changing layout never touches a word you wrote

Every layout on this page is one stylesheet over the same structured CV — your roles, dates and bullets are stored once. Switch as often as you like, in either language, and come straight back. Nothing is re-typed and nothing is lost.

Pick a layout later. Start with the words.

The builder opens on a blank CV or on one you upload. You can change layout at any point — including after you have written the whole thing.
