Compact Resume Template

Why the Compact template works

The Compact template uses a two-column structure to fit meaningfully more content on a single page - critical for candidates with rich experience across multiple roles, industries, or geographies. Blue section headers and a clean divider line give it the crisp, no-nonsense look that consulting firms, operations leadership, and MBA recruiting programmes expect. Compact is the template of choice for candidates who need to tell a broad story without spilling onto a second page.
