Free Linear CV template.

Who it suits

Applicants who want a straightforward CV for online applications, technical roles, administration, or an employer that requests a simple format.

Linear keeps one reading order from top to bottom, so a recruiter and an online application system meet your sections in the same sequence.

Its simple styling keeps attention on your content and prints clearly in black and white.

Linear does not show a photo, which matches the usual expectation for CVs in the UK, Ireland, the US, and Canada.

Your information, your order

Add or remove entries, move sections, and keep only what matters for your application. Empty sections stay out of your CV, and longer documents flow across multiple pages.

Pick one of ten accent colours, choose your own, or keep the template’s. You can also switch between a sans and serif body and tighten or open up the spacing. You can switch templates in the editor without losing your details, and preview every page before downloading your free PDF.
