Modern CV Templates
A modern resume keeps the structure recruiters expect but uses typography and colour to guide the eye: a bigger name, accent headings, subtle section markers and tidy skill chips.
These designs work best where personality is welcome, such as marketing, product, customer success and startups. They stay on a single column so the content reads in order, and most can be recoloured in the Studio to match your field.
If the employer uses an online portal and you are unsure, pick an ATS-friendly template instead. The modern ones are still easy to parse, but the plain ones carry less risk.
