Who it suits

Experienced applicants who want a confident, modern document with supporting details visible at a glance — business, technology, sales, and management roles.

Summit uses two columns, which makes supporting details quick to scan. Some applicant tracking systems read columns in an unexpected order, so if you are uploading to an online portal, compare it with a single-column template such as Clarity or Linear.

Its modern styling suits most office, technology, and client-facing roles, where a clear hierarchy matters more than ornament.

The profile photo is optional. CVs for jobs in the UK, Ireland, the US, and Canada usually leave it out, while a photo is more common in parts of continental Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. Follow the employer’s guidance when it is given.

Your information, your order

Add or remove entries, move sections, and keep only what matters for your application. Empty sections stay out of your CV, and longer documents flow across multiple pages.

Pick one of ten accent colours, choose your own, or keep the template’s. You can also switch between a sans and serif body and tighten or open up the spacing. Add an optional photo under Personal details — it’s cropped on your device and never uploaded. You can switch templates in the editor without losing your details, and preview every page before downloading your free PDF.
