Who the Atlas template suits

Atlas is a good fit for any career stage. At a glance: a centred spaced-capital name, thin rules under each heading and a single text column.

  • Administration
  • Finance
  • Retail
  • Public sector

Built without a photo, which suits the US, Canada, the UK and Ireland, where photos are usually left off. If an employer expects one, you can add a photo in the builder.

Is Atlas ATS-friendly?

Yes. Atlas keeps your content in one text column with standard section headings and no tables, so applicant tracking systems read it in order.

Whichever template you pick, download your PDF and run it through our free ATS checker to see the text a tracking system extracts.

How to use the Atlas template
