Vista CV Template — Free Download

Vista puts your photo and name on a full-width colour band, then keeps everything else in one easy column. It suits client-facing roles where a friendly face helps, and it stays ATS-friendly because everything below the band is plain text.

Who the Vista template suits

Vista is a good fit for early and mid-career. At a glance: a full-width teal band with a photo, name and contact details over a single column with skills in three columns.

  • Sales
  • Account management
  • Hospitality
  • Healthcare

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 Vista ATS-friendly?

Yes. Vista 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.
