LIVE PREVIEW — Tech template

Single-column structure

Multi-column resumes confuse parsers. This template is built single-column.

Real selectable text

Try copy-paste from the PDF — every line is real text, not a flattened image.

Standard section headers

Experience, Education, Skills. The names parsers are trained on.

What recruiters scan for

Four things to nail.

Show shipped, not just stack

Recruiters skim for outcomes. "Cut p95 latency 40%" beats "experience with Go".

Front-load impact

First bullet of every role: a measurable result, not a description of duties.

Languages as a quick scan

A skills row with languages and frameworks gives keyword matchers a clean target.

Link your GitHub

A live profile beats any "Tools" list — recruiters will click through.
