Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about this template

Will a sidebar break UK ATS software?

This design keeps the timeline in the main column and uses the sidebar only for lists, which is the safe two-column arrangement.

Is this design too modern for conservative UK employers?

It is restrained enough for most sectors. For law, academia or the Civil Service, choose London British CV instead.

Is the Manchester Modern CV template really ATS-friendly?

ATS products and employer configurations differ, so this template cannot guarantee parsing or screening results. Check the layout and exported text, use accurate role-specific content, and follow the employer's file instructions. Any compatibility percentage shown on this page is not an independent test by an ATS provider.

Can I download my resume as a PDF for free?

You can export a PDF without a watermark. Review the downloaded file before sending it and follow the employer's requested file format. ATS products and employer settings differ, so no template or export can guarantee parsing in every system.

Is this resume template completely free?

The resume builder and PDF export are currently available without payment or an account. Online AI or analysis tools may depend on service availability; see the Privacy Policy for details about how submitted information is processed.

Do I need to create an account to use this template?

No account is required to use the builder. Drafts are stored in your browser; some online features send submitted information to configured services for processing. See the Privacy Policy for details.

How long does it take to create a resume with this template?
