Which CV template should I choose?
Applying through a big company’s job portal? Pick Classic — its single column is the easiest for applicant tracking systems (ATS) to read. For creative, marketing or design jobs, a template with a strong photo such as Aurora or Halo helps you stand out. For senior roles, Executive keeps the tone formal.
Should my CV have a photo?
In most of Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia a professional photo is common and often expected. In the US, UK and Canada many employers prefer CVs without one. Every ResumeBoost template has a photo switch, so you can make both versions in seconds. Read more in our guide on how to write a CV.
