Gutter headings keep a multi-page CV easy to navigate, even with many sections.

- Academic CVs
- Researchers
- Publishing and editorial
- Libraries and archives
- Nonprofits and foundations
Is Heritage ATS-friendly?
Section titles sit in a gutter, but each one is followed by its content in a single reading order, and every heading is real text. Most applicant tracking systems parse it cleanly.
Tips for writing in Heritage
- List publications in one consistent citation style and bold your name in author lists.
- Put the sections the post cares about first, such as teaching for teaching roles.
- Academic CVs can run long, but keep the first page a strong summary of your record.
Before you send it, run it through the ATS resume checker, and tailor it to the job description you’re applying for.
