Anyone fitting a long career onto one page

Layout: Split header
ATS compatibility: Very good
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.

Name left, contact right; body runs in a single column. Name and title align left, contact details right, the two separated from the body by a fine rule. Using the header horizontally leaves more of the page for the body.

Layout

How the Graduate Compact template is built

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

Split header

Name and title align left, contact details right, the two separated from the body by a fine rule. Using the header horizontally leaves more of the page for the body.

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 and section gaps are tight, built to hold a history with many roles on a single page.

How skills are presented

Skills are set as tags. It looks tidy, and because the text layer stays flat it does not harm readability.

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
Resumes with little content that would otherwise look empty

Frequently asked questions

About the Graduate Compact template

Is the Graduate Compact 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 Graduate Compact 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.
