Frequently asked questions
When should I use a creative resume template?
When you are applying for roles where visual presentation is part of the job — design, content, branding, or creative marketing — and ideally when a human, not only an ATS, reviews applications.
Are creative resume templates ATS-safe?
Highly stylized layouts can confuse some ATS parsers. If the employer uses an ATS, keep the structure clean or also submit a simple version, and always keep key text selectable.
Should a creative resume include a portfolio link?
Yes. For creative roles your portfolio is often the deciding factor, so include a clear, working link near the top of the resume.
