Photo
No photo

Although the page divides into several areas, the sections are built with flex rather than tables and the text layer stays linear, so common parsers take the information in the right order.

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

Framed executive summary on top, two columns of evidence beneath. The page opens with an executive summary: a framed profile block directly under the name. The body splits into two columns so evidence (experience) and credentials (education, certifications) read side by side. The closest layout to what strategy consulting applications expect.

How the Engineering Classic template is built

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

Consulting layout

The page opens with an executive summary: a framed profile block directly under the name. The body splits into two columns so evidence (experience) and credentials (education, certifications) read side by side. The closest layout to what strategy consulting applications expect.

Typography

Body and headings share one sans-serif family, reading equally cleanly on screen and in print.

Section headings

A fine rule sits under each section heading, making the boundaries clear without using colour.

Use of colour

Colour appears only in fine rules and headings; the rest of the page stays white.

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 presented as a single tech-stack block, which makes the tool names a technical employer is scanning for the fastest to find.

When not to choose this template

  • Applications where a visual portfolio is expected in the document itself
  • Applications where the employer mandates its own template
  • 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 Engineering Classic template

Is the Engineering Classic template ATS-friendly?

ATS compatibility for this template is rated “very good”. Although the page divides into several areas, the sections are built with flex rather than tables and the text layer stays linear, so common parsers take the information in the right order.

Does the Engineering Classic 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 Engineering Classic template?

Yes. The accent colour control in the editor applies to this template too — pick any of the six presets.
