10 Free Professional HTML and CSS CV/Resume Templates

Topics]CSS / Graphic Design / Templates / Web DesignAuthor]

There are quite literally hundreds upon hundreds of free CV or resume templates readily available to download out in the deep recesses of the web, available in every conceivable format and covering every possible profession. These templates are OK, they are professional enough, but there are two things that these templates lack – originality and creativity – not one will present you in a way that sets you apart from the rest, something that all potential recruiters will be looking for first.

All of the HTML and CSS templates below all look good and professional as is, but with a little bit of personalized creative styling, they will have the chance to look amazing and original, allowing you to present yourself to your future employer in a manner that is not only professional but, more importantly, will allow your creative flair to come to the fore-front.

    I checked out Roger Byrne’s (which is a really nice start and way to think about an html resume) and noticed he said he was asked about a resume and realized he hadn’t created one in years. I had to laugh because I’m in the same boat.

    Thanks for the collection…

    Very beautiful. I love the first 3 templates and have already downloaded them. Thank you for sharing.

    Some of these are nice but would take some reworking for those with more than 10 years experience because the pages would just be too long or big.

    My content was reworked by various headhunters/recruiters but I came up with my format to hold a large amount of information without getting too silly.

    Check it out (feel free to take my code.. it’s all included for easy updating anywhere) at:

    This is of great value/content… Been a recruiter 13 years and I am amazed how generous people are now with social media with there content.. It is really cool to be in between the Baby Boomer and GEN Y’ers, and watch the differences in how commerce is done… I like the NEW way better! Great stuff! Brian-

    This was really quite helpful. Knowing that with the current job market still at a slight standstill, it nice to have some pointers on how to better fill out an application or job resume.

    The ones at the top of the list look great, but some of the ones further down the list look very similar to each other, and to something done up on microsoft word. Still, this has given me a bunch to think about.

    Thank you, SpeckyBoy! I have used the ‘Things That Are Brown’ version as a holding page/business card for my site. Dead easy to modify. In a word, elegantly simple (yeah, that’s 2).

    Much appreciated

    Thank you, there are really great.

    But the first one, the one by Jonno Riekwel, has broken links.  Do you know if it is still available in another place, please?  It was one of my favorite templates and it is unavailable.
