CV templates

A template decides how your CV looks, but the content is what gets you the job. Pick a design that suits the job and the company, then tailor what's in it to every job.

11 designs, 3 of them free and ATS-friendly.

Vailo has 11 designs in three groups:

  • Free (3): one column, no photo, ATS-friendly. The safest choice for large companies, banks, international organisations, and anywhere you apply through an online form.
  • Pro (5): with a photo and colour accents. Good for small and mid-sized companies where a person reads your CV directly.
  • Premium (3): creative layouts. Suited to design, marketing, media and other creative roles.

Pro and Premium designs unlock once with credits and stay yours.

ATS-friendly templates: when you need one

An ATS is software that reads your CV before a person does. It reads text top to bottom and can trip over two columns, tables or text inside images. So:

  • If you apply through an online form, or the company is large, pick a one-column template.
  • If you're emailing your CV straight to HR, a more visual design is fine.

With or without a photo

In Georgia a CV with a photo is normal, and many employers expect one. At the same time, many international companies don't ask for a photo, and some advise against it to avoid bias. A simple rule: if the job ad is in English and the company is international, leave the photo out. Otherwise it's your call.

Templates in Georgian and English

Every design works in both languages: Georgian text renders correctly and the section headings follow your language. From the same experience you can make a Georgian CV and an English one. Here's how: your CV in English.

Word, Google Docs or PDF

There are plenty of Word and Google Docs templates, but building a CV in them takes time: text shifts, spacing breaks, and Georgian fonts look different on someone else's computer. In the end you should send your CV as a PDF anyway, so it looks the same everywhere.

In Vailo you pick a design, the text lays itself out and you get a ready PDF. You can switch designs instantly, without retyping anything.

A template is half the job

A good template makes a CV easier to read, but the content decides whether you get picked: whether the first lines show what this job asks for. So pick your template once, and tailor the content to every job: how to tailor your CV to a job.

You might also be wondering

Which CV template is best?

One that's easy to read: clear headings, enough white space, one or two colours. If the company uses an ATS or is international, choose a one-column template.

Should I send my CV as Word or PDF?

As a PDF. It looks the same on every computer and the Georgian font doesn't break. Send Word only if the job ad asks for it.

Is there a free CV template in Georgian?

Vailo's templates work in Georgian and English, and you can switch designs without retyping anything. A new account's first tailored CV is free.
