About the Minimal template
The Minimal template drops colour entirely. It uses black type, thin rules and generous whitespace, with your name and contact details at the top and each section clearly separated.
It reads as calm and professional, prints perfectly on any printer, and suits corporate roles where the content of your CV matters more than its design.
Best for
- Finance, accounting and legal roles
- Corporate and head-office applications
- Senior and management positions
- Printing in black and white
How to use it
- Create a free CV Hub account - or import your existing CV to fill in your details automatically.
- Add your education, work experience, skills and references. Mandy can draft your About Me summary for you.
- Choose the Minimal template under Configure CV and download your PDF.
Questions
Is the Minimal template ATS friendly?
Yes. Like the Classic template it is a single column of real text with standard headings.
Can I add a photo?
Yes. Your photo appears as a small square beside your name. A photo is optional on a South African CV, and many corporate employers are happy without one.
