Templates
Every template is built text-first. No graphics, no columns that collapse, no colour that disappears in black and white. You can switch template at any time without re-entering your details.
Best for: Office, government and corporate roles
A conventional single-column layout with clear section headings and consistent spacing. Section order is summary, employment history, education, qualifications, skills. This is the safest choice for APS and state government applications, where selection criteria matter more than styling.
Best for: Any role, especially online application portals
No rules, shading, columns or icons — just well-spaced text. Use this when the employer asks for a Word document, when you are applying through a large portal, or when you have no idea what software will open your file.
Best for: Marketing, technology and design-adjacent roles
A restrained header with one accent rule and slightly wider spacing. Still text-first: no sidebars, no charts, no skill rating bars. Everything remains selectable text so the document stays readable after printing or converting.
Best for: Trades, construction, mining and FIFO
Licences, tickets and site inductions sit directly under your name, above employment history, because that is the first thing a supervisor checks. Includes plain fields for expiry dates, roster availability and your own transport.
Best for: First job, school leavers and students
Leads with education, availability and transferable skills, then part-time, casual, volunteer or work experience placements. Keeps to one page so a short history does not look padded.
Best for: Management and senior roles
A two-page format with room for a leadership summary, scope of responsibility (team size, budget, sites) and a condensed early-career section, so twenty years of history does not run to five pages.
Photographs, personal details such as date of birth or marital status, skill rating bars, and heavy graphic sidebars. None of these help an Australian employer assess you, and several of them either break in conversion or invite unlawful bias.
Every export uses consistent margins, readable body text, page numbers on multi-page documents, and Australian spelling.
