About the Portrait template
Portrait leads with a professional photo and a full-height sidebar — the presentation expected in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and much of continental Europe, where a Lebenslauf traditionally includes a picture.
The builder handles both worlds: keep the photo for European applications, and switch templates instantly for US/UK submissions where photos are discouraged.
Best for
Applications in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and other photo-expected markets.
Frequently asked questions
Should I put a photo on my resume?
Depends on the market. In Germany, Switzerland, and Austria a photo is customary; in the US, UK, and Canada it is discouraged and can get a resume filtered out. Match the convention of the country you are applying in — switching templates here takes one click.
