About modern resume templates
Most CVs are now read on a laptop before they are ever printed. Modern templates are built for that: generous line height, clear heading weights, and sensible column widths so a hiring manager can skim your last two roles without zooming in.
They sit comfortably in almost any industry. If you are unsure which style fits your field, modern is the least risky place to start and the easiest to adapt with a different accent colour or font.
Best suited for
- Software, data, and engineering
- Product, design, and growth roles
- Startups and scale-ups
- Anyone applying online rather than in print

Each style page collects the templates that share the same design language, so you can compare like with like.
