Frequently asked questions
What makes ATS Focus different from ATS Clean?
ATS Focus leads with a stronger profile section and grouped core strengths before experience, while ATS Clean uses a more neutral, chronology-first layout. Both share the same ATS-safe structure.
Is ATS Focus good for career changers?
Yes - the upfront profile and strengths sections give you room to reposition your experience before a recruiter reaches your work history.
Can I add a projects section?
Yes - ATS Focus has space for selected projects, which is useful if you want to show proof of work alongside your job history.
Will switching from ATS Focus to another template lose my content?
No - your CV content is stored independently of the layout, so switching templates in the builder carries everything over.
