Bold CV Template (Free, ATS-Friendly)

Bold is for CVs that need to stand out in a stack. A large name, accent bars beside each heading and filled skill chips give it energy without sacrificing readability.

It works well for marketing, sales and startup roles, where showing a bit of personality is a plus and hiring managers often skim dozens of applications at once. Pair it with a strong accent colour and a summary that leads with your best number.

The decoration is purely visual: names, headings and skills are real text, so applicant tracking systems read them normally. If Bold feels too loud for a particular employer, switch to Modern or Executive and keep all your content.
