Simple CV templates
Keep the focus on your experience with clear headings, fine rules and restrained colour. Compare these samples, then choose a layout for your own CV.
Start with a blank CV in your chosen design. Adjust the colour and font, then preview your pages before downloading.
Choose the structure that fits your information.
A simple design can still give you choices. Nairobi uses a clean heading and a coloured rule. Paris centres the heading, while Milan connects the sections with a fine timeline. Copenhagen keeps selected details in a slim right-hand column.
Start with the template’s default font and size. Add your information before changing the typography, then check long entries and page breaks in the PDF preview. You can change the template later without rewriting your CV.
