Keyline resume template

Keyline is mostly white space. A single hairline in your accent color runs the full height of every page, section headings hang to its left in small spaced capitals, and your content runs to its right. Your name is set in Jost with the surname in a heavier weight.

Is the Keyline template ATS-friendly?

Section headings sit in a separate left margin, which some applicant tracking systems read in a different order. The text itself is one column. For strict job portals, ATS Plain is safer.

Bolder layouts like this can be misread by some applicant tracking systems. If you apply through a job portal, switch to ATS Plain or another single-column layout; your content moves over unchanged.

Accent colors

Starts in Emerald. Pick any of these in the editor's Design panel, or enter your own color.

Does the line appear on every page?

Yes, from the top edge to the bottom edge of each printed page.

Will long headings fit in the margin?

Yes. Long headings wrap onto a second line in the margin and the section makes room for them.
