Content Creator CV template
A social-profile header: gradient banner, overlapping avatar, handle-style title.
A creative CV is itself a work sample: the person reading it is judging craft before they open your portfolio, and this layout is built to be looked at as well as read. The split page and the photograph together make it feel designed rather than typed — appropriate when a person, not a portal, opens the file first.

ATS score 3/5 · Moderate
How this layout behaves in an applicant tracking system
Three out of five. A split page plus visible styling is the combination parsers handle least consistently — most cope, but a minority will interleave the columns and blur the boundary between a skills list and a job description.
Skills, languages and certifications sit in the side column, so those are the entries most likely to move in the extracted text; experience and education stay in the wide column and stay in sequence.
The portrait is an image, so no parser reads it, and a handful of large employers’ systems flag documents that contain images at all. Switching the photo off in the editor takes one click and the layout closes up around it.
A single column parses more reliably than two, in every system we have tested against. If the application goes through a portal you do not recognise, or the employer is large enough to screen automatically, send a one-column version instead — the ATS CV templates are built for that job, and your content moves across without being retyped.

In practice
Three situations Content Creator is the right answer to
A senior role won on positioning
At this level a CV is a positioning document. The split page lets you lead with a profile and scope on one side and the evidence on the other, which is how the conversation goes anyway. Where it earns its keep: Content creators and social media managers.
Work that speaks first
Tools, software and links live in the side column while the wide column keeps the projects and the story behind them, which is the order a design reviewer reads in anyway.
A direct approach where you are already known
Sent to someone who has met you or seen your work, the photograph anchors the document to a memory. That is a real advantage, and it is worth the parsing trade-off in exactly this situation. If the employer asks for a document without one, the photo toggle in the editor removes it and Content Creator re-balances the header on its own.
Make it yours
Customising Content Creator
Accent colour
Content Creator ships with #f43f5e as its accent. The accent is doing visible design work, so choose it deliberately: pull it from your portfolio site or your personal identity rather than accepting a default. One strong colour beats two competing ones on a page this expressive.
Fonts and heading style
A display or editorial face for headings over a quiet body face is the pairing this layout is drawn around. Let one voice lead — setting both at high contrast is what turns an art-directed CV into a noisy one. Heading case — uppercase, capitalised or as typed — is a separate switch, and it changes the character of the page more than most people expect.
Spacing and density
Density is yours to set. Because the side column is narrower, drop the type size a notch before you reduce margins — long certification names are the first thing to wrap awkwardly on a two-column page.
Sections and order
Projects, awards and links carry more weight than a long employment history. If the work itself is your strongest argument, move projects above experience — it takes one drag in the editor. Every section can be renamed, reordered or hidden, and Pro adds custom sections for anything the standard set does not cover.
Photo
The portrait can be circular, rounded or square, and it can be switched off entirely — the header reflows rather than leaving a hole, so one CV serves both a market that expects a photograph and one that does not.
Paper size and export
Switch between A4 and US Letter and the document re-flows to the new page instead of being scaled into it. The exported PDF is rendered from the same component as the preview, so nothing shifts between the screen and the file.
