Who the Opal template suits

Opal is a good fit for early and mid-career. At a glance: each section on a soft rounded card with a light tint under a clean header.

  • Customer success
  • HR
  • Account management

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 Opal ATS-friendly?

Yes. Opal 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.
