Minimal with Photo Resume Template
The Minimal layout, with a profile photo for regions and roles where that helps.
Identical to the Minimal template but with a dedicated space for a profile photo. In many countries outside the US and Canada, including a photo is standard practice; in creative or customer-facing roles elsewhere, it can also help put a face to the application. Skip it for US corporate and ATS-heavy applications, where a photo is generally discouraged.
ATS rating: Good
- Same clean single-column text as Minimal
- The photo is an image that parsers skip, which is harmless
- Many US and UK employers prefer no photo, so remove it for those applications
Best for
- Applications in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia where a photo is customary
- Sales, hospitality, and customer-facing roles
- LinkedIn-style profile resumes for networking, not ATS submission
Features
- Dedicated, proportioned photo placement that stays professional
- Same clean, minimal typography as the standard Minimal template
- Easy to remove the photo later if you need an ATS-safe version
- Works well for both local and international applications
