Template 27 of 59
Keel
Roles run across the top of the page and the reference rail is anchored to the foot of the column, with its hairline running the full height. Two columns, and the one where the split reads the right way round for a parser-minded reader.
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.
- Builder id
- keel
- Sheet
- A4, 8.27 × 11.69 in
- Margins
- 0.5 in on all four sides
- Body
- 10.50 pt, 1.36 line height
- Face
- System UI, web-safe. The reference face, at its own point size.
- Line length
- The full sheet. Two columns halve it, so the split does the measuring.
- Name
- 20.47 pt
- Section headings
- Title case, 14.36 pt, no rule
- Section gap
- 12 pt. Entry gap 6 pt.
- Bullets
- Filled disc, 1.68 pt between them
- Columns
- Two. A 30% rail carrying skills, languages, interests, certifications, references.
- Arrangement
- rail anchored to the foot.
- Photo
- None.
- Accent
- #065f46, changeable in Design
- Colour
- Colour allowed. A mono printer greys the accent; the rules still carry the structure.
What it is for
Good at
- Documents where the roles matter more than the reference list, because the roles are what a reader looks at first.
- A4, which is the default here and the right default for most of the world.
- A page with a short reference section and a long one, because anchoring the rail to the foot keeps the imbalance out of the top half.
- A PDF on screen, where the foot-anchored rail is a considered arrangement rather than a default one.
Bad at
- Parsed applications, still. The rail is at the foot, which helps a human and does nothing for an extractor, because an extractor reads top to bottom and the roles are at the top, which is genuinely the right order here.
- A long reference section, which will meet the roles in the middle of the page.
- Print in the United States, where the sheet is Letter and the preset is A4.
- A reader who expects the contact block first. It is in the top band here, and the rail below it starts with skills.
ATS profile
Visual only
It is two columns, so it carries the standing objection, and it is marked a caution rather than a fail for one specific reason: the roles are at the top of the page and the reference material is below them, which is the order a text extractor reads in. A parser gets the roles first, which is what it should get first.
The column split itself still costs something. Greenhouse names a columned layout, and a parser that reconstructs sections by geometry rather than by reading order can still put the rail in the wrong place.
A one-column preset with the same density is hairline. Same body size, same measure, one column, and nothing for a parser to reconstruct.
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.
