When to use Elegant
Use Elegant when a senior single-column CV should look considered without a second column. Skip it for student one-pagers and for engineering portals that expect a stack list, not a serif. If you need a rail, that is Executive — with its ATS warning.
Who it suits
Senior professional services, strategy, and client-facing leadership.
Layout and reading order
This is a single visual layout. A single column can make reading order easier to follow. No layout is guaranteed to work in every recruitment system. Check extracted text and follow the upload instructions.
PDF and Word exports use consistent single-column layouts. To print the visual template, use the builder’s print option and check page breaks.
When another layout may help
Skip for early-career STEM applications and for forms that strip fonts anyway.
