Who the Bramble template suits
Bramble is a good fit for students, graduates and first jobs. At a glance: a one-page first-job layout with projects first, skill tags and plain headings.
- School leavers
- Internships
- Part-time jobs
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 Bramble ATS-friendly?
Yes. Bramble 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.
