Who the Orbit template suits
Orbit is a good fit for early and mid-career. At a glance: a very large name on the left, a contact list on the right and a quarter-circle accent shape in the top corner.
- Startups
- Creative tech
- Marketing
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 Orbit ATS-friendly?
Yes. Orbit 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.
