When a creative CV is the right call
Design (graphic, product, brand, motion, UX), creative direction, art direction, copywriting, content strategy, marketing leadership at agencies or brand-led companies, video and audio production, social and community roles. In these fields, the CV is itself a portfolio piece — if it looks generic, you've already lost half the signal. A creative template lets you show taste in the same breath as your experience.
Where creative CVs backfire
Large-company ATS portals, conservative industries, and engineering-heavy roles. If you're applying through Workday or Greenhouse, a creative template's color blocks and sidebars may not parse cleanly — submit an ATS-friendly version through the portal and email the creative version directly to the hiring manager as a follow-up.
Pair the CV with a portfolio link
A creative CV opens the door; your portfolio closes the deal. Add a portfolio URL in the header — ideally on a personal domain — and use a memorable URL slug that matches your name. Replace LinkedIn with the portfolio link in the contact block if space is tight. The CV is the trailer; the portfolio is the film.
