What defines this layout
- Sans-serif typeface
- Two columns with a dark rail
- Includes an avatar or photo
- Headings over a full-width rule
- Dates right-aligned against each role
Every one of these is a setting, not a constraint — accent colour, font, size, spacing and page margins stay yours under Customize, and switching template later re-renders what you’ve written rather than starting it over.
Using Cadet as a CV
Cadet carries a photo, which is what a continental European CV expects alongside the personal details a British one leaves out. For the UK, Ireland or Australia, turn the photo off in Customize — the layout closes up around it and the rest of the page is unchanged.
It sits at a normal density, which lands most histories on the two pages a non-academic CV is expected to fit.

Is Cadet the right choice?
Who it suits
Pages that will be skimmed fast. A navy rail with reversed heading labels gives every section a hard edge.
What it does to ATS parsing
Two columns with a filled rail and reversed labels. The labels extract; the columns are the thing to check.
At two pages
The labels hold the second page together better than most sidebar templates manage.
Use something else if
Anvil for a tinted rail, or Nautilus for rated skills instead of labels.
