Template 15 of 59
Gallery
The airiest page in the set. Margins over an inch, a measure of about sixty characters and a leading of 1.6. There is barely a page of text on it, and the small amount there is set as carefully as a book.
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
- Writing and editorial roles, where the document is a demonstration of judgement rather than a list of jobs.
- A short career, or a career whose early years are not the point.
- A reader who reads. The measure is about sixty characters, which is book-page length.
- A4, which is the default here, and the right default for most of the world.
Bad at
- Screening, badly. Six seconds on a stack of resumes and this page is mostly margin.
- A long career. You will need two pages of a document that is already three-quarters empty.
- Technical fields. There is no room for a stack, because there is no room for anything.
- The United States, where the paper is Letter and the page size is one click to change and usually stays wrong.
ATS profile
Clean
One column, no tables, no images, no rules at all, and a heading alone on its line. Structurally it is as plain as a document gets.
The absence of a rule is the interesting part and it costs nothing: a heading that stands alone on a line of text is already unambiguous to a parser, and the rule was decoration in the first place.
A page that is mostly white is not a parse risk. A document that says nothing is still a document that says nothing.
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.
