This template at a glance
- Two columns (a side column for skills and contact)
- Better sent directly than uploaded to ATS systems
- Photo optional, and you can move it
When to choose it
When you still run past one page after cutting everything you can. Spacing is tighter, the summary spans the full width, and below it experience and projects take one column while education, skills, languages and certificates take the other. The photo is small and sits in the corner of the header. Our warehouse keeper sample is shown in this template first, and it is also used in the engineering, quality control and IT samples.
When to pick another one
For a short resume or a first job: the tight layout leaves the lower half of the page empty, and Minimal or Classic fills better. Because the body has two columns, keep a version in ATS plain for job sites. And if you are only a few lines over one page, shorten repeated sentences first; your current template may be enough.
Every template lets you choose colors, fonts, photo and section order, and you can switch templates at any time without losing anything.
