Who the Ledger template suits

Ledger is a good fit for senior, managers and executives. At a glance: a split header with the contact list on the right, and dates in a left margin column beside each entry.

  • Finance
  • Accounting
  • Banking
  • Civil service

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 Ledger ATS-friendly?

Yes. Ledger 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.
