Layout: International ATS layout
ATS compatibility: Excellent
Photo: No photo

The layout is built on a single-column flow where the visual order matches the text order, so applicant tracking systems read the document as it stands.

There is no photo area; the header stays pure text, so parsers read the name and contact lines without breaking them apart.

Single column, international application layout — clearest for parsers. The safest structure for international application systems: name and contact in the first block, section headings in underlined capitals, no graphic elements at all. It carries the lowest risk of parsing error in global ATS platforms.

Layout

How the Graduate ATS template is built

Knowing how information sits on the page before you pick a template directly affects how your application gets read.

Centred details, single column, no graphics

The safest structure for international application systems: name and contact in the first block, section headings in underlined capitals, no graphic elements at all. It carries the lowest risk of parsing error in global ATS platforms.

Typography

Body and headings share one sans-serif family, reading equally cleanly on screen and in print.

Section headings

Section headings appear as small filled colour labels. It is the most visual heading treatment, for when presentation matters.

Use of colour

The template is entirely colourless. It looks identical on a black-and-white printer and in PDF viewers without a colour profile.

Density

Line spacing and section gaps are tight, built to hold a history with many roles on a single page.

How skills are presented

Skills are listed on one line separated by dots. It is the safest form for keyword matching.

When not to choose this template

Applications where a visual portfolio is expected in the document itself
Creative roles where visual presentation forms part of the assessment
Resumes with little content that would otherwise look empty

You can compare the alternatives side by side in the template comparison table.

Frequently asked questions

About the Graduate ATS template

Is the Graduate ATS template ATS-friendly?

ATS compatibility for this template is rated “excellent”. The layout is built on a single-column flow where the visual order matches the text order, so applicant tracking systems read the document as it stands.

Does the Graduate ATS template include a photo?

There is no photo area; the header stays pure text, so parsers read the name and contact lines without breaking them apart. If you are applying to employers who expect a photo, pick one of the templates that carries it as part of the design.

Can I change template later?

Yes. The template is only a presentation layer; what you write is stored separately and carries over intact when you switch.

Will the PDF match this preview?

Yes. The preview and the PDF come from the same component: A4 (210×297 mm), accented characters and a selectable text layer are all preserved.

Can I change the colour in the Graduate ATS template?

This template is deliberately colourless. If you want colour, pick one of the coloured variants in the same family.
