Margin resume template

Who the Margin design suits

Margin is for technical and analytical roles where a reader wants to find a section quickly: engineers, data analysts, researchers and technical program managers. The left edge works as an index, which helps on a two-page résumé.

How the page is laid out

A plain name, role and contact line across the top. Below, each section name stands in a wide left margin in bold, tracked IBM Plex Sans, and the section's content runs in a single column to its right. Thin grey rules separate the sections across the full width. There is no colour beyond slate and grey.

How it reads to an ATS

Although it looks like two columns, each heading is read before the content beside it, so the extracted text comes out as heading then entries, section by section. The narrower text column means more line breaks, so long bullets may run a line longer than in a full-width design.

Everything on this design can be changed

The picture is a starting point, not a fixed layout. Open the design and change any of this in the editor, with your own words on the page as you do; nothing needs retyping.

• Colours: the accent, heading, text, background and sidebar colours
• Fonts: heading, body and name typefaces, sizes, line height and letter spacing
• Header: photo or monogram on or off, the contact line’s style and whether it sits under, beside or above the name, or in the sidebar
• Section headings: rule, band, side heading and more, for every section at once or one at a time, with an optional icon
• Dates: at the right edge, before the entry, beside the title or in the company line
• Language levels, skill badges and link style
• One or two columns, the sidebar width, section order and which sections appear
• Spacing, margins and page size (A4 or US Letter), and Magic fit to keep it to one, two or three pages
• Switch to any of the other 74 designs at any time; your content comes with you
