Layout: Consulting layout
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.

Framed executive summary on top, two columns of evidence beneath. The page opens with an executive summary: a framed profile block directly under the name. The body splits into two columns so evidence (experience) and credentials (education, certifications) read side by side. The closest layout to what strategy consulting applications expect.

Layout

How the Public Sector Split template is built

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

Consulting layout

The page opens with an executive summary: a framed profile block directly under the name. The body splits into two columns so evidence (experience) and credentials (education, certifications) read side by side. The closest layout to what strategy consulting applications expect.

Typography

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

Section headings

Section headings are distinguished by weight alone, leaving no decorative element on the page.

Use of colour

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

Density

Line spacing is balanced — the middle ground between readability and fit for most applications.

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
Applications where the employer mandates its own template
Very long career histories running past three pages

Frequently asked questions

About the Public Sector Split template

Is the Public Sector Split template ATS-friendly?

ATS compatibility for this template is rated “very good”. 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.

Does the Public Sector Split 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 Public Sector Split template?

Yes. The accent colour control in the editor applies to this template too — pick any of the six presets.
