Nordic résumé template

A Scandinavian-inspired two-column résumé template in soft slate tones.

Nordic puts contact details, skills and languages in a pale slate sidebar and leaves the main column for your history. The palette is deliberately muted.

The two-column layout reads well on screen; if your application is going through an automated parser first, a single-column template is the more conservative choice.

Best for

  • Design and product roles
  • Applications reviewed by humans first
  • Résumés with a lot of skills and languages

Questions about the Nordic template

Is the Nordic 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.
