Academic Plain

Who it suits

  • mid level, senior roles
  • Applications made through a careers portal
  • Short and mid-length resumes
Layout

Photo
No photo

The layout is built on a single-column flow where the visual order matches the text order, so applicant tracking systems read the document as it stands.

There is no photo area; the header stays pure text, so parsers read the name and contact lines without breaking them apart.

The Featured design badge marks layouts that follow their own grid logic and have few equivalents in the catalogue. It is not a pricing tier.

One alignment axis and wide spacing; the content breathes. There is one vertical alignment axis and every section leans on it. Margins are deliberately wide and there are few sections. What carries the document is not a graphic device but the space itself.

Layout

How the Academic Plain template is built

Knowing how information sits on the page before you pick a template directly affects how your application gets read.

One axis, wide spacing

There is one vertical alignment axis and every section leans on it. Margins are deliberately wide and there are few sections. What carries the document is not a graphic device but the space itself.

Typography

Set in serif typography. It eases reading through longer blocks of text and carries the register expected in academic, legal and executive applications.

Section headings

Section headings are set in spaced capitals — distinct from the body without needing any graphic element.

Use of colour

The template is entirely colourless. It looks identical on a black-and-white printer and in PDF viewers without a colour profile.

Density

Generous line spacing and plenty of white space. On short and mid-length resumes it lets the page breathe instead of forcing it to look full.

How skills are presented

Skills are grouped as technical, tools and soft, so an employer finds the category they are looking for directly.

When not to choose this template

  • Applications where a visual portfolio is expected in the document itself
  • Creative roles where visual presentation forms part of the assessment
  • Very long career histories running past three pages

You can compare the alternatives side by side in the template comparison table.

Frequently asked questions

About the Academic Plain template

Is the Academic Plain template ATS-friendly?

ATS compatibility for this template is rated “excellent”. The layout is built on a single-column flow where the visual order matches the text order, so applicant tracking systems read the document as it stands.

Does the Academic Plain template include a photo?

There is no photo area; the header stays pure text, so parsers read the name and contact lines without breaking them apart. If you are applying to employers who expect a photo, pick one of the templates that carries it as part of the design.

Can I change template later?

Yes. The template is only a presentation layer; what you write is stored separately and carries over intact when you switch.

Will the PDF match this preview?

Yes. The preview and the PDF come from the same component: A4 (210×297 mm), accented characters and a selectable text layer are all preserved.

Can I change the colour in the Academic Plain template?

This template is deliberately colourless. If you want colour, pick one of the coloured variants in the same family.
