Why these parse cleanly

Most applicant tracking systems read a CV as plain text before a person sees it. These are the layout rules that keep that text intact.

  1. One column, top to bottom. Multi-column layouts can be read in the wrong order, mixing two jobs into one line.
  2. Contact details in the body, never in the Word header or footer, which many systems skip entirely.
  3. Standard section names — Summary, Work Experience, Education, Skills — so sections are recognised without guessing.
  4. Real text instead of text boxes, tables, images or icons, which often come out empty.
  5. One date format for every role, so your timeline can be read consistently.
  6. Selectable text, not a scan or an exported picture of a page.

A template alone will not get you shortlisted

Layout is the part software reads; content is the part people judge.

A clean template makes sure your experience is read. What decides the screen is whether that experience matches the job: the skills you evidence, the results you can show, and the requirements you meet. Check your CV against the job to see which of those are missing. The score is free; the full analysis is $1.99 one-time, no subscription.
