With 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.

The photo sits in a small circle beside the name, leaving the rest of the page to the text.

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 Freelance Band 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

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

Section headings

Section headings appear as small filled colour labels. It is the most visual heading treatment, for when presentation matters.

Use of colour

Contains a filled colour area. Because identity gathers there, the page separates at a glance.

Density

Line spacing is balanced — the middle ground between readability and fit for most applications.

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
  • 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 Freelance Band template

Is the Freelance Band 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 Freelance Band template include a photo?

The photo sits in a small circle beside the name, leaving the rest of the page to the text. A photo is not required: turn off “Show photo on resume” in the editor and the area is removed, with the page falling back to its photo-free layout.

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 Freelance Band template?

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