Template tips

How to get the best result

Write for the role

Tailor your summary, skills and bullets to the job description instead of sending the same resume everywhere.

Keep bullets specific

Use action verbs, numbers and outcomes where possible so recruiters can understand your impact quickly.

Check readability

Use the resume score and preview to catch long bullets, missing keywords and layout issues before exporting.

Use this template well

  • Keep the sidebar focused on short information such as skills, tools, languages and certifications.
  • Use the main column for measurable achievements instead of long descriptions.
  • Avoid filling both columns with dense text; whitespace is part of what makes this layout effective.
