Dune CV Template — Free Download

Dune lays rolling bands of warm colour, like dunes at sunset, along the foot of the header, with a serif name and framed photo on clear paper above them. A low strip of the same dunes closes every page. The effect is warm and well travelled, a natural fit for hospitality, retail management and travel.

Who the Dune template suits

Dune is a good fit for early and mid-career. At a glance: layered sand-coloured dune curves along the foot of the header under a serif name and framed photo, with a low dune strip at the bottom of every page.

  • Hospitality
  • Retail management
  • Travel
  • Tourism

Designed around a photo, which is common in much of mainland Europe, the Middle East, Africa and parts of Asia. For the US, Canada, the UK and Ireland, switch the photo off: the layout still looks complete without it.

Is Dune ATS-friendly?

Yes. Dune keeps your content in one text column with standard section headings and no tables, so applicant tracking systems read it in order.

Whichever template you pick, download your PDF and run it through our free ATS checker to see the text a tracking system extracts.
