Design CV template
Sydney Two tones, sand and ocean blue.
Sydney starts with a sand-coloured band across the top holding a rounded-square photo, your name and your contact details with icons. Below it, the sand colour continues as a column on the right for skills, languages and links, while the main column carries your experience. Accents are ocean blue and the typeface is Asap.

What it suits
Applications a person reads first: an email to a recruiter, a referral, a printed copy for an interview. For job portals, an ATS template is the safer choice, because some applicant tracking systems read sidebars, columns and header bands out of order.
The warm sand panels set it apart from the grey of New York and the charcoal of Cairo.
