Soft CV Template (Free, ATS-Friendly)

Soft opens with a tinted, rounded header and uses gentle colours and pill-shaped skills throughout. It is approachable and warm, a CV that feels human rather than corporate.

It suits NGOs, education and customer-facing roles: teachers, social workers, receptionists and customer service staff, where empathy and communication matter as much as technical skills. The default green accent is calm and friendly.

Behind the soft styling it is a single column with standard headings, so applicant tracking systems read it without trouble. Lead your summary with who you help and how, and support it with one or two concrete results, such as classes taught or complaints resolved.
