Layout

How the Modern Compact template is built

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

International hybrid

A labelled detail column on the left, a single flowing body on the right. It carries no photo and uses standard section names, built to the common ground between European and North American application systems.

Typography

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

Section headings

Section headings appear as small filled colour labels. It is the most visual heading treatment, for when presentation matters.

Use of colour

Contains a filled colour area. Because identity gathers there, the page separates at a glance.

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

You can compare the alternatives side by side in the template comparison table.
