Minimal résumé template

A minimal résumé template with generous whitespace and no heavy rules.

Minimal strips the document to left-aligned headings and space. There are no rules, bars or fills — the hierarchy comes from spacing and weight alone.

Choose it when your content is dense and you want the page to feel calm rather than busy.

Best for

  • Design and editorial roles
  • Academic and research applications
  • Dense résumés that need breathing room

Questions about the Minimal template

Is the Minimal template ATS-friendly?

Yes. Text is drawn as real, selectable text rather than an image, so applicant tracking systems can parse it. Every template uses conventional section headings (Experience, Education, Skills) and exports to both PDF and DOCX, which are the two formats job applications normally accept. If you want the most conservative possible structure, the ATS-Max template is single column with no rules, tags or colour blocks at all.

Can I switch templates after I start writing?

Yes, at any time. The template is stored separately from your résumé content, so switching only changes the design — nothing is reordered, rewritten or lost. You can move between all templates from the builder toolbar and watch the page count update as you go.

Does it support non-English characters?

Yes. Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic and Chinese/Japanese/Korean text all render in both the on-screen preview and the exported PDF, with right-to-left scripts laid out in the correct direction.
