Who this template is for
Minimal Gray strips the page down to typography, thin gray rules and generous white space. Choose it when your experience should speak for itself — in engineering, IT, research or any application where recruiters skim dozens of CVs. Its single-column flow is also the safest choice for online application portals that parse your file automatically.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Minimal Gray template ATS-friendly?
Yes. CV Makes templates export a text-based PDF with standard section headings that applicant tracking systems can read. If you apply through an older ATS, a single-column design is the most conservative choice.
Can I add a photo to the Minimal Gray template?
Yes, the photo is optional. Add one if photos are expected in your country, for example in Germany or Turkey, and leave it out for applications in the US, UK or Canada.
Can I switch to another template later?
Yes. Your content stays in place when you change the template in the editor, so you can compare designs with your own details before downloading the PDF.
