Petals CV template
Rounded pastel shapes in the corners, a photo set in a soft organic frame and a serif name at the top: Petals is our most creative template, and it’s still easy to read.
6 colours to choose from

What makes it different
- The dates for each job run vertically alongside it, which frees up room for the text itself.
- Interests turn into small coloured tags. In interviews, that’s often where the conversation starts.
- Six palettes are available, from warm orange through sage green and blue to violet.
Who it suits
Jobs where personality matters as much as track record: graphic design, communications, childcare, events, beauty, restaurants and retail. Probably not the one for a very formal institution.
Where it works best
You can use it anywhere, but it’s a particularly good fit for CVs aimed at:
- France and French-speaking countries
- Spain, Italy, Portugal
- Latin America
- Netherlands and the Nordics
- Germany, Austria, German-speaking Switzerland
If you pick a country where photos are discouraged, such as the United States or the United Kingdom, the editor leaves the photo out and shows your initials instead.
How it works
- Open the template and choose the country you’re applying in. Paper size and sections adjust automatically.
- Fill in the fields. The preview updates as you type.
- Try another colour or template if you like, then download your CV as a PDF.
