Why Fresher passes ATS

- No tables, text boxes or text inside images
- Standard section headings recognised by applicant tracking systems
- Fonts embedded in the PDF, so text is selectable everywhere
- Verified by exporting a real PDF and checking the extracted text

Is Fresher the right template for you?
Fresher and Campus both target graduates. Fresher is the more general of the two: it starts with a career objective and puts projects before work experience, which suits off-campus applications, internships and job portals worldwide. Campus is tuned for placement drives, with an 'Academic Qualifications' heading and a compact layout for marks. Once you have a year or two of experience, switch to Standard or Clarity and move education below experience.
