Facebook-Style CV Template: The Classic Blue

A template that borrows the classic blue Facebook page layout: cover image, overlapping profile photo, name centred, sections ordered beneath. It is the most restrained of the social templates, which makes it work for professions that need a friendly public presence — teaching, real estate, public relations, community management.

The steps

1. Open it and upload a simple cover image plus a sharp profile photo
2. Enter your name, then the job title directly under the photo
3. Use the summary to define the audience you serve, not to list your ambitions
4. Add a services or projects section if you work independently with clients
5. Put your social handles in the contact block — the natural extension of this layout

Practical tips

• The template highlights community and volunteer work; add that section if it is part of your history
• Blue works with almost every taste, so only change it if you have your own colour identity
• Pick a neutral cover image — busy pictures pull attention away from your name

Common mistakes to avoid

• Using an unprofessional profile photo, which colours the reader's view of the whole document
• Leaving the services section empty when you are independent, withholding the most useful information

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from Facebook Strong?

This one is calmer and more sober; Strong plays with more contrast and bolder type. Choose this for services and teaching, Strong for sales and marketing.

Does it suit freelance work?

Yes, and well. Add the services section and a testimonials section if you have one — together they give the template its full value.
