Creative resume templates

Creative templates use a strong color header, expressive headings and more personality, while the body text stays easy to read. They are meant for roles where visual judgment is part of what you are showing.

  • Send these directly to people, or alongside a portfolio.
  • For job portals, consider an ATS-friendly template instead.
  • Let your portfolio link do the heavy lifting.

Questions

Can I switch to another template later?

Yes. Every template uses the same content, so you can switch in the editor at any time without retyping anything.

Do these templates come with a cover letter?

Yes. Each template has a matching cover letter design with the same header, type and accent color.

Should I add a photo?

It depends on the country. Photos are usually left out in the US, Canada and the UK, and are more common in parts of Europe, Türkiye and the Gulf. The editor shows the usual practice for the country you choose.
