How the Ledger template is laid out
Instead of sitting above each section, headings are placed in a narrow left margin and aligned to the right, so they line up against the content like the labels in an account book. The content column sits beside them. It is orderly and distinctive without using colour blocks.
Who should use Ledger?
Finance, audit, compliance and legal professionals who want a precise, structured look, mainly for direct applications and printed copies.
Is Ledger ATS-friendly?
Because headings sit beside rather than above the content, some parsers pair them with the wrong text. The builder marks Ledger as not ATS-friendly; use Traditional or Keystone for portal uploads.
A writing tip for Ledger
Margin headings must be short to fit. Use Experience, Education, Skills and Projects rather than longer phrases.
