CV Template with a Header Banner — Free
A solid colour band across the top holding your name and job title. It gives the page an anchor, which helps most when your history is short and a plain layout would look empty.
This is the graduate's template: it looks deliberate and finished with two internships on it, where Classic or Minimal would look like a page with gaps.
Build my CV with this template
Who this suits
- New graduates and first jobs — the banner carries the page when content is thin.
- Sales, business development and account management, where confidence reads well.
- Internal applications and promotions, where the reader already knows you and scans for the title.
- Anyone whose CV is one page and needs to look intentional at that length.
What the design does
- Full-width colour band with your name reversed out of it.
- Job title directly under the name inside the band, so the role is the second thing read.
- Body kept plain below, so the banner is the only strong element on the page.
- Single column beneath the header — the band is decoration, not structure.
When to choose something else
A few older ATS setups handle large filled blocks poorly, so for a government or bank portal Minimal is the safer bet. And with fifteen years of history the banner starts to feel like wasted space — Sidebar uses it better.
Banner CV template — FAQ
Is this template free?
Yes. Every template is free with no watermark on the design itself. Free downloads add one small line at the bottom crediting Confileo; a subscription removes it.
Will it pass ATS screening?
Yes. All text is real selectable text, not an image, and the section headings use standard names (Experience, Education, Skills) that applicant tracking systems parse correctly.
Does it work in Arabic?
Yes. Choose Arabic as the document language and the whole layout flips to right-to-left with proper Arabic letter shaping — the text is not mirrored or broken.
Can I change it after downloading?
You can come back and edit any time — your draft is saved in your browser. To change the wording of an exported PDF, edit it here and download again rather than editing the PDF itself.
