Most resumes are filtered before a person ever sees them. Applicant tracking software reads your file into a database, and layouts built on text boxes, sidebars, icons and image headers routinely lose entire sections in that process. This template is built the opposite way: standard section headings, a clean typographic hierarchy, and a structure that parses cleanly — while still reading as considered rather than plain.

How it works: download, replace the placeholder text with your own, and adjust the accent rule to any color. Margins, spacing and heading styles are preset, so the layout holds its shape as you type — no fighting text that jumps onto a second page halfway through the evening.

Best suited to students, recent graduates, career starters, and anyone applying to roles where one focused page carries more weight than a long history. At this price it's also a low-risk way to test whether a cleaner layout lifts your response rate before committing to a full kit.
