The right template is the one that keeps your actual sections readable and fits the final file without hiding important content.

Template choices

Apply each layout to the full document rather than judging an empty sample.

Straightforward and technical
Compare refresh.cv resume, Software Engineer, and Crisp for familiar single-column reading with different levels of technical density.
Academic applications
University CV keeps a complete long-form academic record; Academic Resume selects the education, research, projects, and scholarly work relevant to one application.
Modern light, dark, and serif
Obsidian Light, Obsidian, Slate Light, Slate, Vellum, and Vellum Dark offer paired light and dark directions with narrow modern or serif reading styles.

Format controls

Start with the template, then tune only the settings needed for your content.

Type
Adjust font family, font scale, line height, and letter spacing while watching the full page.
Spacing and order
Change page margins, section spacing, entry spacing, and section order without rewriting the content.
Dividers and accent
Use divider strength and one restrained accent to clarify structure, not decorate empty space.

Final file check

A template is finished only after the exported document has been opened and checked.

Every page
Check page breaks, isolated headings, crowded lines, and unexpected blank space.
Links and selectable text
Confirm contact links work and important content remains selectable in the exported file.
PDF and DOCX
Open the exact format requested by the employer because layout and page breaks can differ between files.

Use this page for the right task

Best when
Use this when the content is ready but the document structure still needs a clear format.
Example
A project manager compares layouts using the same content before choosing the clearest hierarchy.
Prepare and check
Choose for content length and reading context. Check wrapping, page breaks, headings, and export output with your real content.
