Creative Resume Templates

Resumes with creative designs are best for job applicants who want to show their unconventional and innovative sides. These templates combine hints of color and unique design elements with a professional look, so applicants can stay on point while keeping it real.

Creative template designs are especially well-suited for those who:

Work in the arts (i.e., graphic design, illustration or photography) or other creative industries (i.e., advertising, architecture or entertainment)
Want to show their personality
Want to add some style to their resume

Creative templates are not well-suited for those who:

Work in traditional fields (i.e., law, medicine or finance) or government roles (i.e., social services, treasury, and police or fire departments)
Want to present themselves in a straightforward way
Want their qualifications to stand out
