Resume Template

Marketing Plain

Revenue and growth figures up top, evidence directly beneath

Build a resume with this template Other templates

Who it suits

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

Layout: Two results-led columns
ATS compatibility: Very good
Photo: 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.

Revenue and growth figures up top, evidence directly beneath. Name, title and summary gather into a full-width colour block, with the revenue and growth story at the very top. Built so that in sales and business development the numbers are read first.

How the Marketing Plain template is built

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

Colour header block above two results-led columns

Name, title and summary gather into a full-width colour block, with the revenue and growth story at the very top. Built so that in sales and business development the numbers are read first.

Typography

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

Section headings

Section headings are set in spaced capitals — distinct from the body without needing any graphic element.

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 Marketing Plain template

Is the Marketing 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 Marketing Plain 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 Marketing Plain template?

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