CV generatorNine ways to set the same CV
The same content, laid out nine different ways — different typefaces, different margins, different ideas about what a section heading should look like. Open any of them and it will be typeset for real, in your browser, from the same engine that produces the PDF you would download.
No account needed to look. The drawings below are schematics, so this page costs you nothing to read.
Every template
- RenderCV ClassicThe original RenderCV look, and the one every other template here is a variation on. Blue headings under a rule that stops partway across, the name centred at the top, the degree given a column of its own — and, alone among the nine, it prints how long you held each job beside the dates.
- EmberThe only template that mixes two typefaces: a humanist sans for the body against a book serif for the name. Brick red throughout, headings centred in small caps with no rule under them, and diamonds instead of dots in front of every line.
- Engineering ClassicRaleway throughout, section headings ruled edge to edge, and the whole header pushed flush left instead of centred. It keeps the blue of the original, so what separates the two is structure rather than colour: this one reads as a document, that one as a title page.
- Engineering ResumesDefaultBlack ink, headings ruled edge to edge, and contact details printed as whole web addresses rather than handles — which is what you want the moment somebody prints it and cannot click anything. Set in Charter, with the heaviest bullet of the nine and no footer along the bottom.
- HarvardCharter again and everything in black, with the narrowest margins of the nine — which is what lets a long history stay on one sheet without setting the type any smaller. Headings are centred over a short rule, and the degree keeps a column to itself.
- InkGaramond in a deep indigo, with the largest name of the nine and tighter leading than any of the others. Headings are small caps with no rule at all, and the header sits flush left, so the top of the page opens like the front of a book.
- Modern CVA thick coloured bar beside each heading rather than a rule beneath it — the only heading of that shape here, and the thing that makes a page recognisable across a room. Set in Fontin, header flush left, in the same blue as the original.
- OpalThe only one that leaves the right edge ragged instead of justifying the text, which reads more easily and never opens a river of white space down the column. Teal, headings centred in small caps, hollow bullets, and no footer along the bottom.
- SB2NovSet in Computer Modern, the face a LaTeX document arrives in by default, and printed in plain black. The only template that puts your role on a line of its own above the employer, with the place and the date stacked in italics down the right-hand side.
