Who the one-page template suits
This is the template for experienced professionals who have a lot to say and want to keep it on one page. The small type and tight rhythm give you room without shrinking your text in a PDF viewer.
Before you cut content, trim older roles to a line or two and merge similar bullets. Keep dates in one format throughout. If the page still feels dense, the professional ATS template gives you more white space.

One-page ATS resume questions
Is a one-page resume always best?
Not always. One page suits most people under about ten years of experience; two clean pages are fine for longer careers.
Will the small text be hard to read?
The type is compact but designed for print. Check the preview at full size before you download.
Is a minimalist resume ATS-friendly?
It is plain text with standard headings, which parsers handle well. No template can promise how every employer's system reads it.
Can I add sections?
Yes. You can add your own sections and reorder or hide existing ones in the editor.
Does it work for graduates?
Yes. Lead with Education and projects, and keep the summary short.
