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 your resume is more text than numbers, for example in teaching, consulting, HR and services. Centered headings between fine rules separate the sections without much color, so long text stays calm and readable. Skill levels are written as words and stay clear in black-and-white print. Our HR specialist sample is shown in this template first.
When to pick another one
If you have a lot of experience and little space: the centered header and the spacing around headings take room, and Compact works better. For job sites and ATS software keep a version in ATS plain or Classic too. And if you want a loud resume for sales or a start-up, the soft color of this template is easy to overlook.
Every template lets you choose colors, fonts, photo and section order, and you can switch templates at any time without losing anything.
