About these CV templates
A good CV template does half the work for you: it puts your name where the employer looks first, keeps your experience in the order that matters, and leaves enough white space that the page is easy to read in seconds. CVBuilder gives you three templates that do exactly that. Modern uses a gold sidebar with your photo and skills up front, so it suits creative and customer-facing roles. Classic is the traditional centred layout that recruiters and hiring managers know best. Minimal strips everything back to clean lines and clear headings, which suits technical and office roles.
Every template is free, and every template prints cleanly as a one- or two-page PDF. There is no account and no sign-up: your details live only in your own browser while you build, and you can save a draft and come back later. If you want a professionally designed CV made for you, the Pro section on the builder page links to a ready-made CV template pack and a professional CV design service.
