Best for

• Long CVs with many sections, such as senior or multi-role careers
• Hospitality, retail and customer service management
• Readers who skim quickly and need to find sections fast
• Printed CVs where clear divisions help

If you want a very quiet, minimal page or plan to print in black and white on a poor printer, choose a template that relies on rules rather than tinted bars.

Tips for this template

• Pick a mid-strength colour; the bars use a light tint of it, so very pale colours can almost disappear in print.
• Use the Additional Information section for languages or volunteering; it gets its own bar and is easy to spot.
• Keep the headline brief, since it is set in small capitals and long titles become hard to read that way.
