Experience takes the wide column while supporting detail drops into the narrow ones — the composition expected in advertising and art direction applications.

Layout

How the Freelance Split template is built

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

Agency grid

The page sits on a three-column grid with sections distributed unevenly but deliberately. Experience takes the wide column while supporting detail drops into the narrow ones — the composition expected in advertising and art direction applications.

Typography

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

Section headings

Section headings are distinguished by weight alone, leaving no decorative element on the page.

Use of colour

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

Density

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

How skills are presented

Skills are listed on one line separated by dots. It is the safest form for keyword matching.

When not to choose this template

  • High-volume applications screened automatically by large employers
  • 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 Split template

Is the Freelance Split template ATS-friendly?

ATS compatibility for this template is rated “good”. This layout carries visual elements. For high-volume applications through a careers portal, export a second version from the ATS family with the same content.

Does the Freelance Split template include a photo?

The photo sits in the header in a sharp square frame — the language of a portfolio grid. 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 Split template?

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