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 fills a square at the top of the sidebar, the full width of the panel.

How the Teaching Compact template is built

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

Information panel on the left

Contact, skills, languages and certifications gather into a panel on the left, leaving the main area entirely to work experience. Panel and body are built with flex rather than tables.

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 Teaching Compact template

Is the Teaching 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 Teaching Compact template include a photo?

The photo fills a square at the top of the sidebar, the full width of the panel. 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 Teaching Compact template?

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