Compact uses a single column that reads top to bottom, with a medium name and contact details stacked in a split across the page header.
Typography is Source Sans throughout — a clean sans-serif that stays crisp at small sizes and in screenshots. Sections use section titles with a thin rule beneath them, set in spaced capitals, and each entry shows dates right-aligned on each entry with round bullets.
Skills appear as grouped under labels. The default accent is #1A1916; 8 presets are one click away and any color can be typed in, and fonts, spacing and margins are adjustable after you pick it.
Best for
- Any role where the application goes through an applicant tracking system first
- Anyone who wants the content, not the design, to do the talking
- Longer careers that need to fit on one or two pages
Applicant tracking systems
