This template at a glance

Two columns (a side column for skills and contact)
Better sent directly than uploaded to ATS systems
Photo optional, and you can move it

When to choose it

For jobs where a formal photo is usual, such as services, customer contact and teaching. The photo fills the full width of the side column, with your name and title in a dark band right below it; contact details, skills and languages are in the same column. Experience, education and projects have plenty of room in the white main column. Our quality control sample is shown in this template first.

When to pick another one

If you don't add a photo: this template shows your initials instead, and a template without a photo slot works better. A low-quality or casual photo stands out more at this size than in any other template. ATS software may read the side column separately; for job sites keep a version in ATS plain.

Every template lets you choose colors, fonts, photo and section order, and you can switch templates at any time without losing anything.
