How the layout works

The Modern uses a top rule and an accent-colored name. The career narrative remains in one column, so the visual emphasis comes from the header and section styling rather than a sidebar.

Make it yours

Choose your accent color, header alignment, heading scale, and font pairing. The resume’s colors are independent of the site’s interface. Keep enough contrast for comfortable reading.

What to review

Inspect the header at the final paper size and test your links in the downloaded PDF. A stronger accent should not make small text harder to read.

Preview and export

Switching designs preserves your resume content. Choose Letter or A4, review the page count, and check any layout warnings. PDF follows the preview’s layout rules. Word remains editable, but pagination can differ between word processors. Plain text and Markdown exports are also available with export access.

Downloads require an active paid subscription. See pricing and plan details. No template guarantees compatibility with every hiring system; follow the employer’s requested file format.
