Is the Pastel Cards template ATS-friendly?
Pastel Cards uses two columns: skills, languages, certifications, awards and interests sit in the side column, the rest in the main column. People read it easily, but some applicant tracking systems mix up two-column text. Use it when you email a recruiter or hand your resume over in person, and switch to a one-column design such as Classic or Modern for job portals. Your content carries over when you switch.
Tip: The page tint comes from your accent colour, so changing the accent recolours the whole page, not just the headings.
