Compact Resume Template
Two-column · Inter · Compact
Compact is the space-efficient one: name, headline and contact details share a single baseline row, and the side column carries skills, languages, credentials and side projects at once, so a long career history still fits on a page. The green accent and a dark rule under the header are the only decoration.
Use this templateWho it suits
- A long work history that keeps overflowing a single-column page
- Anyone who would rather fit more than leave more white space
- A CV with enough side material - skills, credentials, projects - to fill a real side column
What it includes
- Summary
- Experience
- Education
- Key achievements
- Skills
- Languages
- Education & Certification

John Doe
Software EngineerReact & Node.js4 years experience
Summary
Software engineer with 4 years building web products in small teams. Works across a React front end and a Node.js API, owns features from ticket to release, and watches the dashboards after a deploy. Comfortable picking up an unfamiliar service and leaving it better documented than it was found.
Experience

- Shipped 30+ features across a React and Node.js booking product used by 40,000 customers a month.
- Cut the checkout API p95 from 1.8s to 620ms by batching three sequential queries.
- Added integration tests around the payment path, taking release rollbacks from about one a month to none in two quarters.
Self-serve refunds - Owned end to end
Built the refund flow so support stopped filing manual tickets, returning about 200 hours a quarter to the team.
