Lattice CV Template — Free Download
Lattice prints a fine dot grid, like engineering paper, down a left panel on every page, and sets your contact details, skills and languages on clean cards over it. Small type fits a long history onto fewer pages. It is a tidy choice for analysts, accountants and administrators who want structure with a little texture.

Who the Lattice template suits
Lattice is a good fit for early and mid-career. At a glance: a compact layout with a slate-blue dot-grid left panel on every page, contact details and skills on clean white-tinted cards, and the name in the main column.
- Finance
- Accounting
- Analytics
- Administration
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 Lattice ATS-friendly?
Partly. Lattice 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 Lattice when you email your CV or hand it over; for large online portals, a single-column template such as Inlet 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.
