Simple and Elegant
White Graphic design group created this light and crisp resume template to satisfy all job-seekers with a strong sense of aesthetics. Nice use of light colors and a well-organized layout make this simple one page resume template extremely pleasing to the eye.
Available on Behance with a matching cover letter template to help you prepare a polished job application.
Cubic: a clean, elegant take on the modern 1 page resume template.
The top header is reserved simply for your name and title for you to stand out. A right-hand sidebar switches it up. Filled-in circles for your languages and skills allow you to showcase your knowledge in style. This template is suitable for senior and teen resumes alike.
Julio. A Ramirez De Freitas’s “Simple Resume Template” is the first free one page resume template for MS Word on our list. The greyscale used in this will surely help you interest recruiters, but it also makes this template not the best one-page resume template to print out. Use it only for digital job applications.
Enfold resume template by Zety has a side bar to allow you to fit more into a single page. Bar charts for resume skills and languages help recruiters grasp your core competencies quick. White space on the left-hand side gives readers some breathing room.
Our "Muse" template has got the right balance between a typical, formal one page resume template and a sprinkle of creativity. A lot of white space makes this resume very pleasant to look at.
The “Perseus Resume Template” by Nina Shaw over at Creative Market is one of the best templates out there. It has a header and footer area like many traditional resumes, but this one left-aligns the header while right-aligning the footer, making it quite unique while still functional (a nice resume trick!).
This one’s called “Vibes.” And what sort of vibes does it send, huh?
Simplicity, they say, is the ultimate sophistication and here you can witness simplicity at its finest.
Tiny, elegant icons next to section headings are eye-catching but not too invasive. Simple bar charts for your skills let you describe your proficiency level easily—legible sections, nice font, clear layout. A great simple one-page resume template for job seekers in traditional industries, as well as students writing a resume for their first job.
A cool resume template to show that less can be more. It’s got nothing but the basics, but thanks to smart resume formatting it’ll help you highlight your professionalism and attention to detail.
Another one of our very best. Primo uses two columns to save space and let you make a one page resume without any effort. See how the icons next to section titles draw attention to the most important parts of the resume.
“The Ivy” by ResumeLab is one of the most creative one page resume templates you’ll find. It’s going to work great for graphic designers, art directors, content creators, or other creative positions.
Here’s the link to this one-page resume template. (Matching business card and cover letter templates included.)
