What defines this layout
- Sans-serif typeface
- Single column
- Includes an avatar or photo
- Headings with no rule
- Dates right-aligned against each role
Every one of these is a setting, not a constraint — accent colour, font, size, spacing and page margins stay yours under Customize, and switching template later re-renders what you’ve written rather than starting it over.
Using Bracken as a CV
Bracken carries a photo, which is what a continental European CV expects alongside the personal details a British one leaves out. For the UK, Ireland or Australia, turn the photo off in Customize — the layout closes up around it and the rest of the page is unchanged.
It sits at a normal density, which lands most histories on the two pages a non-academic CV is expected to fit.

Is Bracken the right choice?
Who it suits
Environmental, agricultural and outdoor work. Olive is unusual on a resume and reads as considered rather than accidental.
What it does to ATS parsing
Two columns under a solid band. Ordinary text throughout.
At two pages
The band does not repeat. Best at one page.
Use something else if
Sagebrush for the colour down the side, or Verbena for a lighter green.
