Frequently asked questions

Does this template get through applicant tracking systems?
Yes. It produces real text in a logical reading order; its baseline readability is 90/100. The ATS check in the editor tells you what lowers it (photo, decorative fonts…).
Can I add a photo?
Yes, the photo is optional: switch it on in the formatting panel, with shape, size and position depending on the template.
One or two columns?
One column: the reading order stays the one screening software uses.
Can I switch template later?
Yes, at any time: your content is kept, and settings the new template cannot display are adapted, with an undo option.
