Resume Template

Graduate Plain

Two balanced columns; experience left, supporting detail right

Who it suits

entry level roles
Applications sent directly to an employer or by email
Short and mid-length resumes

Layout: Two balanced columns
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.

Two balanced columns; experience left, supporting detail right. Experience and education run on the left, skills and languages in a separate right-hand column. Unlike panelled layouts both columns sit on white, so the information is grouped while the page stays colourless.

Layout

How the Graduate Plain template is built

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

Two balanced columns

Experience and education run on the left, skills and languages in a separate right-hand column. Unlike panelled layouts both columns sit on white, so the information is grouped while the page stays colourless.

Typography

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

Section headings

A coloured vertical bar sits to the left of each section heading, so sections are found quickly from the edge of the page.

Use of colour

The template is entirely colourless. It looks identical on a black-and-white printer and in PDF viewers without a colour profile.

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 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
Creative roles where visual presentation forms part of the assessment
Very long career histories running past three pages

Frequently asked questions

About the Graduate Plain template

Is the Graduate Plain 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 Plain 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 Plain template?

This template is deliberately colourless. If you want colour, pick one of the coloured variants in the same family.
