Local tips

Is this format ATS-friendly?

Yes. Whatever the country, keep one column, real text and standard headings. Every CV made with Seerty is built this way, so you can follow local customs without confusing applicant tracking systems.

Customs change between employers and industries. When a job post asks for something specific, follow the job post.
