Modern Resume Template
Contemporary Design With Accent Colours and Left-Aligned Headers
The Modern template adds a splash of personality with accent-coloured headings, left-aligned section headers, and a contemporary feel. It strikes a balance between visual appeal and ATS compatibility by keeping a single-column structure while adding tasteful design touches.

ATS Compatibility
High ATS compatibility. Although it uses accent colours and left-aligned headers, the underlying structure is still single-column with standard headings. ATS systems can parse it without issues.
Frequently asked questions
ATS systems extract text, not formatting. The colours appear in the PDF you submit and the version recruiters see. The ATS extracts the text content regardless of colour.
The Modern template works well for tech, marketing, and product roles. For highly creative roles (graphic design, art direction), consider the Creative template instead.
