Compact One-Page Resume Template
For when you have more to say than space to say it. A split header puts contact details on the right of your name instead of below it, and the body runs tight without feeling cramped. This is the template to reach for when you are trying to stay on one page.
Who The Compact Column suits
- Consulting and finance applications
- Anyone fighting to stay on one page
- Mid-career applicants with dense history
- Roles that ask for a brief CV
What makes this layout different
- Split header with contact details right-aligned
- Tight line spacing and margins throughout
- Single column so nothing is lost when it reflows
- Pairs well with lower line spacing to gain another few lines
How it handles ATS
Single-column top-to-bottom flow, which is the structure applicant tracking systems parse most reliably. Standard section headings, real selectable text, no text trapped in images.
