How to choose the right CV template
Single column is the safest for ATS
Applicant tracking systems read a CV from top to bottom. Single-column templates such as Modern, Classic and Clean keep that reading order intact, which makes them the safest choice for large employers.
Two columns fit more on one page
Sidebar and two-column designs give skills and languages their own space. They work well when a person reads your CV first, for example with smaller companies and recruiters. Run the ATS check to confirm the PDF still reads correctly.
Match the design to the industry
Choose a Classic or Executive design for law, finance and the public sector, a Modern or Tech design for IT and start-ups, and a Bold or Elegant design for creative roles.
Tailor the content, not just the look
The layout gets you noticed; the content gets you the interview. CVm8 rewrites your summary and highlights for each job ad, so the most relevant experience comes first.
