Layout: European classic
ATS compatibility: Very good
Photo: No photo

Although the page divides into several areas, the sections are built with flex rather than tables and the text layer stays linear, so common parsers take the information in the right order.

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

Labelled detail table, following continental European CV convention. Personal details are presented as a label–value table with the portrait at the top right. This is the structure expected across much of continental Europe, and it suits any employer that asks for a photo.

Layout

How the Public Sector Compact template is built

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

Header with photo and a labelled detail table

Personal details are presented as a label–value table with the portrait at the top right. This is the structure expected across much of continental Europe, and it suits any employer that asks for a photo.

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

Colour appears only in fine rules and headings; the rest of the page stays white.

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 set as tags. It looks tidy, and because the text layer stays flat it does not harm readability.

When not to choose this template

Applications where a visual portfolio is expected in the document itself
Applications where the employer mandates its own template
Resumes with little content that would otherwise look empty
