Who the Solace template suits

Solace is a good fit for any career stage. At a glance: an airy single column with wide margins and tiny spaced-capital headings, without rules.

  • Design
  • Writing
  • Research

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 Solace ATS-friendly?

Yes. Solace 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.

How to use the Solace template

  1. 1. Open it in the builder. Click "Use this free template". If you already have a CV in the builder, it switches to Solace and keeps your content.
  2. 2. Fill in each section. The live preview shows page breaks exactly as they will appear in the PDF.
  3. 3. Adjust the design. Change the accent colour, font size and spacing, or rename and reorder sections.
  4. 4. Download the PDF. Free, with no watermark, and you just need a free account to download.
