Are these CV examples ATS-friendly?

Yes, all our CV examples are ATS-friendly. We use standard fonts and formatting to ensure that our examples are compatible with the programs recruiters use to screen applications before reviewing them manually.

What is a good CV template?

A good CV template is one that:

  • keeps the layout clean and uncluttered, with clear headings and consistent spacing
  • uses a classic, easy-to-read CV font like Arial, Calibri, or Garamond
  • avoids distracting graphics, photos, or excessive icons that can confuse ATS systems
  • maintains a logical structure that prioritises your most relevant skills and experience at the top
  • uses darker colours like British racing green, navy blue, or maroon to show professionalism
  • leaves plenty of white space to make your CV easy to skim quickly

What’s a good example of a CV personal statement?

A strong personal statement sets the tone for your CV and highlights your key skills and specialist knowledge. Here’s an example:
