Who this template is for
The same early-career and fast-application use as Harbor, when you want a little warmth rather than pure neutrality. A soft violet accent and slightly more generous spacing suit modern business and non-technical applications.
What to check after export
A minimal single-column layout with wider spacing and a violet accent. Extra whitespace changes the presentation, not a measured ATS rating. Check that the final page breaks and recovered text suit your application.
The thing people get wrong
The tinted page background is the thing to check on export. It renders correctly in PDF but can shift when a portal converts the file, so if an application specifies DOC, preview that version before sending it.
Whichever layout you pick, run the finished export through the ATS resume checker before you apply. The preview shows how the template renders; the checker shows the text this site's extraction recovers from the file you attach, so you can see whether your details survive.
