Who the Lumen template suits

Lumen is a good fit for any career stage. At a glance: a soft tinted band with a centred round photo and name, and centred section headings.

  • Healthcare
  • Nursing
  • Education
  • Social care

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 Lumen ATS-friendly?

Yes. Lumen keeps your content in one text column with standard section headings and no tables, so applicant tracking systems read it in order. The coloured header is only a background: your name and contact details are real text.

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