Template 56 of 59
Archive
For archivists, records managers, cataloguers and historians, whose CV is a finding aid and should look like one. Garamond at a 12pt optical size, a thin rule down the left of every section, sections numbered 01, 02, 03 in a pale figure beside the label, square bullets, and print-safe throughout, because the reading room this is written for has a photocopier and nothing else. The numbers are drawn by the stylesheet, so they never reach the text layer.
The numbers
Every figure below is a value in the template registry the builder ships (assets/js/render/templates.js), or a size derived from it by the same multipliers the document stylesheet uses. Body text is not the preset’s nominal point size: it is that figure corrected for the face’s optical size, which is why a 10 pt Helvetica preset renders at 11.73 pt here. Nothing on this page is a measured pass rate or a hiring outcome, because neither exists.

What it is for
Good at
- Parsed applications: one column, no tables, no images, and a heading alone on its own line.
- Garamond, which is a reading face rather than a scanning one, at 11.46 pt.
- About 92 characters a line, which is the wide end of what a page of prose can carry and fits a lot onto a sheet.
- Black and white printing. The builder already treats this preset as print-safe, so every fill and hue is gone.
- A document with a shape to it. The arrangement is named in the registry rather than bolted on in a stylesheet.
- A page size of Letter, which is what most of the mail in that country is.
Bad at
- A reader who wants the layout to say something about them. It is a document, not a signal.
- Screens, where a serif at 11.46 pt is a page people scroll past rather than read.
- A house style of your own: this preset is the builder’s, not your organisation’s.
ATS profile
Clean
Structurally this is the plain case: one column, no tables, no text boxes, no images, and a section heading standing alone on its own line. Nothing on the published failure lists applies.
The arrangement does not change that. The section number is drawn with a counter rather than typed, so it never reaches the text layer at all.
It is print-safe as well as clean, which is a stronger claim than most presets can make: no fills, no hue, and hairlines thickened for toner.
What no layout can do is make a parse correct. The ATS guide is blunt about this, and no vendor publishes an accuracy figure, so this page will not invent one.
Still yours to get right
A clean layout with a placeholder employer named “Company 1” is still a document a parser discards. No template can fix a sentence that describes effort instead of effect. Start with the resume basics guide and the one on quantifying impact.
