What defines this layout
- Sans-serif typeface
- Single column
- No photo
- Headings with no rule
- Dates in their own left column
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 Signal as a CV
Signal needs nothing changed to serve as a UK, Irish or Australian CV — those markets mean by "CV" exactly what the US means by "resume", and this is already that document. Add a photo and personal details only if you are applying into continental Europe.
It sits at a normal density, which lands most histories on the two pages a non-academic CV is expected to fit.
More on the differences: CV templates and CV examples.
Is Signal the right choice?
Who it suits
Varied histories with a lot of short roles. One clean column with every date stepped out to the left, and nothing else.
What it does to ATS parsing
Single column with dates in their own column. Among the safest layouts here.
At two pages
Strong. The date column is the most reliable structure at length.
Use something else if
Cirrus for three columns of skills, or Singapore for numbered sections.
