Tips for the Clean Minimal layout
- Use the sidebar for short items
- Clean Minimal has a side column: keep contact details, skills, languages and certificates there, and give your experience the main column.
- No photo needed
- Clean Minimal has no photo spot, which suits the US, UK, Canada and Australia, where most employers prefer resumes without photos.
- Safe for application portals
- A clean layout like this is read correctly by applicant tracking systems, so it's the right choice for big companies' careers sites.
- Keep it to one page
- Under ten years of experience, one page is plenty. Trim older roles to a line each before shrinking the font.
