Template 32 of 59
Folio
Dates in a hanging gutter on the left, and the entry set against them. The title still comes first in the document, so a parser still reads the title before the range; only the page has them the other way up.
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
- Research and academic work, where the span of a role is as important as the title and a gutter makes the spans comparable at a glance.
- A page with many roles, where a column of dates is easier to scan than a column of right-aligned ranges.
- Print, where a gutter is a traditional and legible arrangement.
- One column and a serif face, which is the rest of what this preset is.
Bad at
- Short date ranges, where a fixed nine-and-a-half em gutter is mostly empty.
- A narrow sheet. The gutter takes a fixed width out of the measure, and a narrow sheet has less measure to take.
- Mobile. The builder drops the gutter on narrow screens and the page reflows to the plain arrangement.
- A parser that reads by geometry rather than by DOM order, which will get this one backwards.
ATS profile
Clean
One column, no tables, no images, and a heading alone on its line. The gutter is a grid placement, and that is a visual arrangement.
This preset is the one worth reading the DOM for, because the visual order and the document order differ: the title is written first and the dates second, and the grid puts the dates in the first column. A text extractor reads the title first, which is the order you want.
The caveat is about extractors that reconstruct by pixel geometry rather than by the DOM, and this is the one preset where that difference is visible. It is a hypothetical about badly written software; no vendor publishes a figure.
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.
