Classic CV template
Everything is centred on a warm off-white page inside a thin hairline frame: a small star ornament, the name in Instrument Serif, the job title in italics and a double rule underneath. Section titles sit between two lines, and skills run as one centred line separated by dots. Lawyers, auditors, civil servants, bank and insurance staff, and anyone applying to a traditional employer that still reads CVs on paper.
Who it suits
Lawyers, auditors, civil servants, bank and insurance staff, and anyone applying to a traditional employer that still reads CVs on paper.
Why it works
It looks like a carefully typeset document rather than a template, so the reader focuses on the career history instead of the decoration.
ATS notes
A single column read top to bottom, which is the easiest structure for applicant tracking systems to parse. The serif is used for the name, title and summary; the experience text stays in a plain sans-serif.
Photo
An optional round photo sits centred above the name. Without one, the header is just the ornament, name and title.
