What makes these templates different
- True PDF text. Your PDF is not an image, so applicant tracking systems can read it.
- Automatic pages. Content flows to a second page neatly, without cutting an entry in half.
- Your colours and fonts. Choose any colour and one of six professional fonts.
- Photo optional. Show or hide your photo with one click, depending on the country you apply to.
