Clean single column with a clear header. A safe default when you do not know which system will read it.

Traditional layout with conventional section order. Expected in law, finance and academia.

Plenty of white space and no ornament. Works when the writing itself should carry the page.

Tight spacing for long careers that still need to fit on one or two pages.

Leads with a summary and scope of responsibility rather than a task list. For senior and board-facing roles.

Puts the skills block high and gives projects real room. Built for engineering applications.

Shows progression as a visible line. Useful when the story is steady promotion inside a few companies.

Serif typography and restrained rules. Suits communications, publishing and consulting.

More colour and hierarchy. For portfolios and studios that read a CV with human eyes first.

Strong headings and high contrast. Stands out in a stack that is read, not scanned by software.
