Template 20 of 59
Numbered
Sections numbered 01, 02, 03. The number is drawn with a counter rather than typed, so it never reaches the text layer, and the page reads as a contents list with one entry per line.
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.

- numbered
- Sheet
- Letter, 8.5 × 11 in
- Margins
- 0.7 in on all four sides
- Body
- 10.58 pt, 1.42 line height
- Face
- Georgia, web-safe. Corrected for optical size: 11 pt of Georgia reads like 10.5 pt of the system face.
- Line length
- 72 characters, about 36 em, capped and centred
- Name
- 20.63 pt
- Section headings
- Title case, 13.21 pt, over a 1.08 pt rule
- Section gap
- 16 pt. Entry gap 8 pt.
- Bullets
- En dash, 1.69 pt between them
- Columns
- One. No column split, and no risk of a misread reading order.
- Arrangement
- numbered sections.
- Photo
- None.
- Accent
- #93370d, changeable in Design
- Colour
- Colour allowed. A mono printer greys the accent; the rules still carry the structure.
What it is for
Good at
- Consultants and people who genuinely worked in four or five sectors, where a reader wants to see the shape before reading the detail.
- A meeting that will be handed around, where a reader can say "page 2, section 03" and be understood.
- A serif face with a rule under each heading, which is the most traditional version of this idea.
- Print, where a numbered page can be referred to out loud.
Bad at
- Parsed applications, not because the number is a risk but because a number on a heading is the sort of thing naive extractors have been known to fold into the heading text.
- A short document. Three numbered sections is a numbering scheme for something longer.
- A reader who wants the section name alone. The number is in front of it and stays there.
- Consistency demands: once a page is numbered, every page that follows it has to be.
ATS profile
Clean
One column, no tables, no images, and a heading alone on its line. The number is drawn with a CSS counter, which means it exists in the layout and not in the document, so a text extractor sees the heading exactly as written.
That is worth saying twice, because the opposite is also true: a number typed into the heading by hand would be extracted as part of the heading. This one cannot be.
The reason to prefer this over a typed number is the same as the reason to prefer it at all: the page can be re-ordered and the numbers follow.
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.
