IT Professional CV template
A conventional corporate layout with an edge-to-edge contact strip under the header.
Engineering CVs fail in two directions — a keyword dump nobody reads, or a beautiful page with no stack on it. This family is drawn to give tooling, projects and open-source work somewhere honest to live. One column, with a place for a photograph that the layout closes up cleanly when you decide not to use one.

ATS score 5/5 · Excellent
How this layout behaves in an applicant tracking system
Everything on this page is text a parser can lift: real headings, one linear reading order, and no content that exists only as a graphic. It scores 5 out of 5 because there is nothing here for a parser to guess at.
Headings are real headings and lists are real lists, so the boundaries between one role and the next survive extraction intact.
The portrait is an image, so no parser reads it, and a handful of large employers’ systems flag documents that contain images at all. Switching the photo off in the editor takes one click and the layout closes up around it.
There is little left to fix here. If you want to see how the rest of the parser-safe range compares — and what a 5 out of 5 is actually measuring — the ATS CV templates page scores every layout on the same criteria.
- Reading order
- Single flow
- Headings
- Real text
- Tables
- None
- Images
- Photo only, optional
- Selectable text
- Yes
Scores are our own assessment of how a parser handles the layout — never a guarantee about one specific employer’s system.
In practice
Three situations IT Professional is the right answer to
A public-sector or graduate scheme
Structured schemes score CVs against fixed criteria, often mechanically. A conventional document with conventional headings lets the assessor find each criterion where they expect it to be. The obvious case: IT support and service desk professionals.
Stack and shipped work
A single flow suits a CV where each role needs three or four bullets of measurable impact, and where a hiring manager will read the projects section as carefully as the employment history.
A client-facing role
Recruitment, hospitality, sales and account management all trade on presence, and a portrait does real work in those applications. The unusual part is having that portrait on a document this machine-readable. If the employer asks for a document without one, the photo toggle in the editor removes it and IT Professional re-balances the header on its own.
Make it yours
Customising IT Professional
Accent colour
IT Professional ships with #1d4ed8 as its accent. Cool accents — indigo, teal, slate — suit the type of document. The accent is used at small sizes on labels and rules here, so anything too pale loses contrast against white; test it before you commit.
Fonts and heading style
A clean sans keeps library names, version numbers and acronyms legible at 10pt, which is where a technical CV is actually read. Decorative heading faces make a stack list harder to scan for no gain. Heading case — uppercase, capitalised or as typed — is a separate switch, and it changes the character of the page more than most people expect.
Spacing and density
Three sliders control density — type size, line height and the gap between sections — and on a one-column page each of them affects the whole document evenly, so fitting two pages into one is a matter of small adjustments rather than deletions.
Sections and order
Skills, projects and certifications matter as much as employment. Promote projects above experience if you are early-career, self-taught or changing track — the work is the evidence in all three cases. Every section can be renamed, reordered or hidden, and Pro adds custom sections for anything the standard set does not cover.
Photo
The portrait can be circular, rounded or square, and it can be switched off entirely — the header reflows rather than leaving a hole, so one CV serves both a market that expects a photograph and one that does not.
Paper size and export
Switch between A4 and US Letter and the document re-flows to the new page instead of being scaled into it. The exported PDF is rendered from the same component as the preview, so nothing shifts between the screen and the file.
