Professional BannerBanner resume template with photo

A slate-grey banner runs across the top with a square photo or initials box, your name, title and contact line. Below it, the wider column carries your summary, education and experience, and a narrower right column lists personal details, skills, languages and interests.

Is the Professional Banner template ATS-friendly?

The PDF keeps every word as real, selectable text, but the side column is a second column: some older applicant tracking systems read two-column pages less reliably than one. If you are applying through a strict online portal, a one-column template such as Ledger or Swiss is the safer choice. The photo is optional. Leave it empty for UK, US and Canadian applications, where recruiters generally expect a CV without one.
