What the Zenith layout looks like
A header with your photo or initials, name, title and contact line, marked by an accent band at the top edge; timeline experience in the main column and education, skills and languages beside it.
The photo only appears if you upload one. In the builder, the Show these details? panel lets you show or hide the photo, date of birth, nationality, marital status and visa status — and that single setting applies to the preview, the PDF, the Word file and printing.
Who the Zenith template suits
Think twice for: Roles that need a very plain format.
Is Zenith ATS-friendly?
Two columns; use the Text PDF or .docx for portals.
Whatever design you choose, the builder's Application view shows the same content as a simple one-column page, and the Text PDF and .docx downloads keep selectable text in a clear reading order. No tool can guarantee how a particular employer's system reads a file, so follow the job advert's instructions. More in our ATS-friendly resume guide.

Zenith template FAQ
What does the accent band in Zenith do?
It is a thin decorative band at the top edge of the header. It never overlaps your text.
Can I hide the photo?
Yes, with the Photo setting.
Is the Zenith template free?
Yes. Zenith is free to edit and download as a PDF or Word (.docx) file, with no sign-up and no watermark.
Can I switch from Zenith to another template without losing my content?
Yes. Your details are stored once and every template reads the same content, so switching designs never deletes anything. You can also undo a change.
Which file should I send to an online application portal?
Use the Text PDF or the Word (.docx) download. Both keep your content in a simple reading order with selectable text. Use the Design PDF when you email the resume directly to a person.
