What sets it apart

Waves at top and foot

A colour wave sweeps across the top with your name and job title centred in spaced-out capitals. Your photo rests on it in a circle with a cream ring; a dark wave closes the page.
Brush-stroke headings

Section headings are white capitals on slightly tilted brush-stroke plates: dark plates in the main column, colour plates beside it. Job titles in your entries are spaced out too, followed by “Company | years”.
An Objective that flows

The main column opens with Objective, which holds your summary and flows with the page, so a longer one has room. On the left, contacts come first, without a heading, each icon on a colour disc.

Who it suits

Hospitality, beauty, events and teaching roles, where a warm tone fits
Early-career candidates who like to open with an objective
Candidates who send their CV by email or hand it over in person

How an ATS reads it

Every word in Wave is selectable text. The cream page, waves and brush plates are vector shapes behind it; only your photo is an image. Two things need care when software reads it. Your name, job title, section headings and the job titles in each entry are letter-spaced. And the side column is a separate frame, which some parsers read out of order or mix into the main text.

FAQ

Questions about Wave

A visitor asks a question at a help desk and the twin robot answers it

Does Wave's cream page print well?

The cream is a colour in the PDF, not the paper, so a printer lays it down as a light tint across the sheet; the waves are solid colour. On screen it reads as warm off-white. If you print often, test one page first.

Does the letter-spacing in Wave matter for ATS?

Only when software reads your CV first. A parser may turn “S K I L L S” or a spaced-out job title into loose letters, and your job titles are words you want it to catch. Upload Plain ATS to portals and send Wave by email.

Does Wave show skill levels?

Not for skills: Wave lists them as plain bullets, up to eight in the side column, and adds any extras to the main column as text. Languages show their level in words, like “Turkish – Native”. You can hide those under Options.
