Who the Summit template suits

Summit is a good fit for any career stage. At a glance: a dense single column with compact headings, inline skills and contact details on the right of the header.

  • Engineering
  • IT
  • Finance
  • Graduate schemes

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 Summit ATS-friendly?

Yes. Summit 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.
