About the Compact template
Two dense columns with the resume in the wide one: the role on its own line over employer, dates and place, and a rail carrying skills as chips beside the candidate’s own sections.
What makes it ATS-safe
- Two columns — the resume is written first, so extracted text reads the work history through before the rail
- Skills are chips by appearance and a list by structure — one skill per extracted line
- No tables, images, or icon fonts carrying meaning
- Real selectable text, standard system typefaces
- Reverse-chronological sections with YYYY-MM dates
What this example does well
- Every bullet leads with a result and a number, not a duty. →
- Its skills use the words postings screen on. →
- One clean layout that a screening system reads in order. →
