Compact Resume Template

The Compact template is for people whose problem is having too much to say. Tighter leading and margins fit noticeably more experience per page while keeping type at a size a recruiter can still read comfortably on screen and in print.

Who this template is for

Density without damage

Spacing is reduced, not the font size, so the page holds more content while staying legible. Squeezing type below roughly ten points is what makes a dense resume genuinely hard to read.

Still one column

It resists the obvious temptation of a two-column layout. Multi-column resumes are the single most common cause of scrambled ATS output, because parsers often read straight across both columns.

How to make it yours

Use the extra room for more roles, not longer bullets. Older positions can drop to a single line each - title, employer and dates - while recent work keeps its achievements.
