Who the Juniper template suits

Juniper is a good fit for students, graduates and first jobs. At a glance: a leaf-green tinted left panel with a photo, skill pills and interests, and education first in the main column.

  • Apprenticeships
  • Retail
  • Hospitality
  • Graduate schemes

Designed around a photo, which is common in much of mainland Europe, the Middle East, Africa and parts of Asia. For the US, Canada, the UK and Ireland, switch the photo off: the layout still looks complete without it.

Is Juniper ATS-friendly?

Partly. Juniper 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 Juniper when you email your CV or hand it over; for large online portals, a single-column template such as Pebble 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.
