Template 10 of 59
Rail
A narrow rail down the left for the things a reader looks up, and roles running the full width beside it. The name is a little misleading: it is a two-column preset, so it belongs on the same side of the line as the others, even though the reference column is thin and reads as a margin.
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.

- Sheet
- Letter, 8.5 × 11 in

- Body
- 10.50 pt, 1.34 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

- Two. A 28% rail carrying skills, languages, interests, certifications.
- Arrangement
- tint band across the header.
- Photo
- None.
- Accent
- #0550ae, changeable in Design
- Colour
- Colour allowed. A mono printer greys the accent; the rules still carry the structure.
What it is for
Good at
- Reference-heavy documents: a long list of tools, languages and certifications that a reader will come back to.
- Screen readers who scroll, where a thin column on the left is easier to ignore than a wide one on the right.
- A4 or Letter sent as a PDF to a person.
- Documents where the contact block is long and the roles are short.
Bad at
- Parsed applications. It is two columns, which is the single item most consistently named on the published failure lists.
- A short document. The rail needs something to hold, and a page with three entries has nothing.
- Forms that reflow the document, which flatten columns and reorder the reading order.
- Print in a country whose paper is the other shape. The page size is Letter here and the column is a third of it.
ATS profile
Visual only
Two columns, so the same objection as the sidebar preset: a parser walking the page reads the rail before the roles. Greenhouse names the columned layout and the Taleo notes make the same point from the other side.
The rail is narrower than the sidebar, which is a design choice and not a parsing one. Narrowness does not change the order a text extractor reads the page in.
If a parser may be in the chain, the equivalent one-column page is hairline: same idea, same density, one column.
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.
