This Modern CV Template Will Capture Attention and Give You an Unbeatable Competitive Edge
This modern CV template is eye-catching and impeccably professional and will win you an unbeatable competitive edge. Most CVs are dull, hard-to-read, text-only lists of research and teaching experience and other credentials.
Our modern CV templates, including this one from our Modern Advantage Collection have an updated and modern look and feel that blends the best of both a traditional CV and a modern resume. This combination is guaranteed to make your qualifications shine.
In North America, the words CV (curriculum vitae) and resume are often used interchangeably to describe a document that is actually in the format of a resume. There is a fundamental difference between a resume and a CV. They are not the same. In North America, typically only people who work in academia (both teaching and research positions) and some medical and scientific positions will require a CV.
Our modern CV templates make it easy for you to create a new CV or give your existing CV a contemporary facelift. Just follow the prompts in the Microsoft Word template and either insert your new content or copy and paste from your old CV to your new, modern CV. Then, when you are happy with it, save it as a .DOCX document and export to a .PDF document. With these two CV formats, you will have everything you need for your applications.
Distinctive Resume Templates’ modern, hybrid CVs provide space to set the focus of your CV and summarize your research and academic interests and expertise, along with your most important research skills and knowledge. Then, like a traditional CV, the emphasis of the rest of the document will be on your academic accomplishments and credentials.
Every CV will be as unique as the individual. This modern CV template includes the most common categories and it is easy to add or delete sections, change the order of them, or rename sections. The length of a CV is also variable and in general, they will be longer than a traditional resume. Because they require a comprehensive listing of your research and academic credentials, it would not be uncommon for a CV to be four or more pages in length.
It is easy to add or remove pages from this modern CV template. As you keep adding content to your CV and the template will add pages as required, with the header automatically included.
Like all of our templates, you can also easily change the CV color scheme with just a couple of mouse clicks. We provide instructive video tutorials with every purchase of our resume and CV templates to show you how to easily do this yourself. Here are just a few of the color options for this CV.

WHAT OUR TEMPLATE USERS SAY
Appearances matter, even with the written word, and how a document looks can make an immediate impact on the decision to read it or toss it aside. I train and mentor many excellent resume writers who have mastered the art of crafting highly effective resume content, but who lack the basic MS Word skills to create eye-catching, ATS compatible and uniquely branded documents. Distinctive Templates are the perfect solution for easily transforming well-written content into works of art that capture attention, generate interest, and motivate the recipient to read every word.
While I primarily write resumes from scratch for each of my clients, I have also used Michelle’s templates and received great feedback. I find the templates are especially helpful to organize my thinking for those clients who have an overabundance of important information that still must fit in an ATS-friendly, 2-page format without looking cluttered or disorganized.
When I was starting out with resume writing a little over a year ago, one of the most intimidating aspects was visual design of resumes. I didn’t want to have to learn graphic design to stand out—and with these templates, I didn’t need to! I was a little hesitant at first because I thought the templates might be too rigid or generic. In actuality, they are incredibly flexible and easy to play around with. I can customize any template with my client’s favorite colors in just two clicks—which means they never look exactly the same, even if I use them for multiple clients. Using the templates means I can just do what I do best—write—and then plug the text right into the appropriate section. It saves me literal HOURS of work and hassle. One of the best parts about purchasing from Michelle is that she is extremely responsive to questions. There’s a private Facebook group where she records screen share tutorials about how to switch up certain elements in the templates, and she's always been responsive to my emailed questions. My clients are completely thrilled with the unique, modern design of their resume, and I’m thrilled that I'm saving time and don’t have to learn graphic design!
I love Michelle’s resume templates! The designs are eye-catching and easy to use. I highly recommend these templates for anyone who finds that designing a creative, contemporary formatted resume is a challenge. They’re a huge time-saver.
I used the “Pivot” template to create a combination functional/chronological resume for my first big client. Her words when she saw the finished product: “THIS IS AMAZING!” I’m a writer, not a designer. My resumes aren’t unprofessional, but they needed a “wow” factor – and now they have it. Thank you, Michelle, for offering such affordably priced tools!
