Choosing layouts
Use ATS layouts when the document will go through portals, parsers, or recruiter systems. Use sidebar and case-study layouts when the recipient reads the PDF directly and visual structure helps.
- CVMain recruiter document, usually ATS-safe by default.
- One-page CVCompact attachment for referrals or direct outreach.
- Motivation letterCover text for the application; classic letterhead or a plain parser-safe layout.
- PortfolioProof document for selected projects and evidence.
- Skills matrixTabular skills export for portals that ask for one; both layouts are ATS-safe.
CV templates
Used for the main CV document in Apply.
Corporate ATS is safest for portals. Sidebar professional is stronger for direct PDF review.
One-page CV templates
Used when the package includes a compressed CV variant.
Keep this visually distinct from the main CV when you use it as a short executive summary.
Motivation letter templates
Used for the motivation letter document.
Currently one plain business-letter layout; keep it parser-safe and readable.
Portfolio templates
Used for selected project evidence and proof attachments.
Case study gives each project more room. Compact evidence is better when the package is already long.
Skills matrix templates
Used for the tabular skills export.
Both are ATS-safe. Use compact when the matrix grows beyond a single page.
