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 the resume should feel friendly and creative. For all its playfulness, the experience stays tidy and readable, each point starting with a small tick.

When to pick another one

For formal employers, banks and large companies it will not look serious. ATS software reads the side column separately.

Every template lets you choose colors, fonts, photo and section order, and you can switch templates at any time without losing anything.
