The General ATS resume template is designed for modern job applications where readability, structure, and ATS compatibility matter most. Its clean layout, simple formatting, and clear headings help recruiters review your profile quickly while also making it easier for ATS/CV parsing systems to identify your contact details, work history, dates, skills, and keywords accurately.
It works especially well for:
A professional introduction area for your name, job title, location, phone number, email address, and optional portfolio or website link. You can also include a short professional tagline such as “Operations Coordinator | Scheduling | Client Support”.
A short 2–4 line professional summary that highlights your role, key strengths, and most relevant results. This section is ideal for creating a strong first impression before the recruiter moves deeper into your CV.
A reverse-chronological work history section built to highlight your career progression, responsibilities, and measurable achievements. This section is designed to support:
A simple and easy-to-scan section for your degree, institution, and graduation year. It can also include honors, relevant coursework, academic projects, or distinctions where appropriate.
A dedicated section for job-relevant skills, designed to help both recruiters and ATS systems identify your core strengths quickly. This area supports both:
An optional section that can help show personality professionally when relevant to the role. Examples include volunteering, industry communities, sports, mentoring, or public speaking.
A focused section for tools and platforms you can use confidently, such as Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, Canva, Salesforce, WordPress, Figma, or industry-specific systems. This is especially useful for admin, tech, marketing, support, and operations roles.
A structured area for professional certifications, including the credential name, issuing body, and year. For example: PMP – PMI (2024). This helps recruiters and ATS systems confirm your qualifications quickly.
A section for recognitions and notable achievements that strengthen your credibility, such as Employee of the Month, Top Sales Performer, or Academic Excellence Award.
A clear section for listing language proficiency, such as English (Fluent), French (Intermediate). This is particularly valuable for customer-facing, international, and multilingual roles.
Ideal for academic, research, technical, and healthcare profiles. You can include the publication title, platform or journal, and year in a neat, readable format.
A highlights section for major achievements that may not fit under a single role. This is especially useful for freelancers, consultants, founders, and professionals with varied experience.
A place for professional memberships and associations such as IEEE, SHRM, PMI, or local industry bodies. This adds authority and shows active engagement in your field.
A flexible section for important extras that strengthen your application, such as:
A customizable section you can rename based on your field or target role. Common examples include:
A clean reference section. Many job seekers now prefer to write “Available upon request” unless full references are specifically required by the employer.
Optional and best used depending on your country, industry, and job type. The General ATS template supports:
Keep all links short, relevant, and professional.
