How to build an ATS-friendly CV

Use a clear target title, a short professional summary, reverse-chronological work history, relevant education and a focused skills list. Match important keywords from the job description naturally, and use standard headings that applicant tracking systems can recognise.

Country presets for Pakistan, UAE, UK and Canada

The preset changes guidance and optional fields without forcing one country’s conventions onto another. UAE can show optional nationality, visa status and availability fields; UK and Canada hide the photo field by default; Pakistan keeps the photo optional.

Save or export your CV

Use Print / Save as PDF to open your browser’s print dialog and choose Save as PDF. The layout is A4-friendly and keeps the content as selectable text instead of turning the CV into an image.

Choose the right CV template for the job

Use an ATS or compact template for application portals, a modern two-column design for professional roles, a graduate layout when education and projects matter most, and an executive layout for senior experience. The template changes presentation only — keep the wording factual, role-specific and easy to scan.

  • ATS templates use simple headings and readable text flow.
  • Modern templates add stronger hierarchy without turning the CV into an image.
  • Executive templates emphasise leadership, scope and measurable outcomes.
  • Graduate templates move education, projects and transferable skills higher.

A template is only the starting point

Recruiters usually care more about clear evidence than decorative formatting. Pick a layout that matches the role, then spend most of your effort on a focused summary, relevant skills and experience bullets that show what changed because of your work.

  • Tailor the first half of the CV to the target role.
  • Use consistent dates and job-title formatting.
  • Export to PDF and re-open it to check line breaks before sending.
