Template 25 of 59
Portrait
A wide rail with a photograph in it, roles in the column beside. Two columns and a picture, which is two of the three things a parser is warned about, on A4.
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
- portrait
- Sheet
- A4, 8.27 × 11.69 in
- Margins
- 0.5 in on all four sides
- Body
- 9.62 pt, 1.34 line height
- Face
- Georgia, web-safe. Corrected for optical size: 10 pt of Georgia reads like 10.5 pt of the system face.
- Line length
- The full sheet. Two columns halve it, so the split does the measuring.
- Name
- 18.76 pt
- Section headings
- Title case, 13.16 pt, no rule
- Section gap
- 12 pt. Entry gap 6 pt.
- Bullets
- En dash, 1.54 pt between them
- Columns
- Two. A 36% rail carrying summary, skills, languages, interests, certifications, references.
- Arrangement
- The plain stack. Nothing arranged, nothing drawn.
- Photo
- Slot in the header, empty until you add a picture.
- Accent
- #151a23, changeable in Design
- Colour
- Colour allowed. A mono printer greys the accent; the rules still carry the structure.
What it is for
Good at
- Markets that expect a photograph, which is most of continental Europe and a good deal of Asia.
- Architecture and design, where the convention of a picture and a reference column is the convention.
- A PDF on screen, where a picture and a column are the two things that make a page look composed.
- A long reference list, which is exactly the kind of thing a column is good at.
Bad at
- Parsed applications, doubly. A columned layout and a photograph are both named on the published failure lists, and this preset has both.
- The United States, where the paper is Letter and the preset is A4.
- Employers with a no-photo policy, where the picture is discarded and the page is just a narrower column.
- Print, where a photograph is a halftone and a two-column page is two columns of small type.
ATS profile
Visual only
The least safe preset in the set for a parsed application, and it is worth being precise about which parts are the problem. Greenhouse names both a columned layout and photographs, and this template has both.
A parser walking the page reads the rail first: name, contact, then the reference material, then the roles. The section it believes is the summary is the one with the contact block in it.
If you need the photograph and not the column, the one-column executive preset has a photo slot and no split. That is the smaller risk of the two.
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.
