The Professional ATS template is a single-column CV with clear serif headings. Everything reads from top to bottom in one order, which is exactly how applicant tracking systems read a CV, so nothing gets lost or mixed up when you apply through an online portal.

When to use the Professional ATS template
Choose this template when your CV will be read by software before a person sees it. Large employers in the Gulf, the UK and North America screen most applications this way. A plain structure with standard headings such as Work Experience, Education and Skills gives the system the best chance of reading your details correctly.
Tips for a strong CV with this template
- Keep the standard section names. Tracking systems look for headings like Work Experience and Education.
- List your most recent job first and give each role clear start and end dates.
- Use the words from the job advert where they honestly describe what you have done.
