Layout

How the Graduate Classic template is built

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

Dense layout

The main sections run in one column with supporting detail spread across two columns at the foot. This is the tightest layout in the catalogue, built to hold a long career on one page.

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

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

Frequently asked questions

About the Graduate Classic template

Is the Graduate Classic 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 Graduate 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 Graduate Classic template?

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