These are live previews of the templates inside CV Analyz, not pictures of them. Pick a plain layout for online portals, or a designed one where a photo or a stronger look is expected. Then fill it in, step by step.
| Your situation | Choose | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Applying through company portals | A plain single-column layout | It is the least likely to be misread by software |
| Germany, Austria and other photo markets | A designed layout with a photo slot, or a plain one | A photo is common there, though usually optional |
| USA, UK, Ireland, Canada | A plain layout without a photo | Photos are usually left out |
| Design, marketing, creative work | A designed layout, plus a plain copy for portals | The look can support your case |
| Long career | A compact layout | It holds more on two pages without shrinking the text |
Our guide to ATS-friendly templates explains the risks of each element, and our country guide compares photo and length rules across 26 countries.
Designed templates are not forbidden. They are simply a bigger risk on some portals, so test the file before relying on it: copy the PDF text into a plain editor and see whether it stays in order, or use our free CV checker.
Pick one layout and change the content for each application: the summary, the skills and the order of your bullets. Our guide to tailoring a CV to a job shows the method. Colour is a smaller decision: most designed templates come in several colours, and a sober one is rarely a mistake.
