Who the Chevron template suits

Chevron is a good fit for early and mid-career. At a glance: a deep slate right panel of broad chevron rows, bright at the top and tone-on-tone below behind contact details and skills, beside a white career column.

  • Finance
  • Compliance
  • Operations
  • Banking

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 Chevron ATS-friendly?

Partly. Chevron has two columns. Most current applicant tracking systems read two-column PDFs, but some older portals mix the sidebar text into the main column. Use Chevron when you email your CV or hand it over; for large online portals, a single-column template such as Ridge is the safer choice.

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