What defines this layout
- Sans-serif typeface
- Single column
- No photo
- Headings with no rule
- Dates in their own left column
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 Coral as a CV
Coral needs nothing changed to serve as a UK, Irish or Australian CV — those markets mean by "CV" exactly what the US means by "resume", and this is already that document. Add a photo and personal details only if you are applying into continental Europe.
It sits at a normal density, which lands most histories on the two pages a non-academic CV is expected to fit.

Is Coral the right choice?
Who it suits
Creative work that still has to look organised. The edge strip and the dated column are doing two different jobs and neither gets in the way.
What it does to ATS parsing
Single column, but the edge strip is decoration some reviewers dislike. The text is unaffected.
At two pages
Good — the date column carries it and the strip runs the full length.
Use something else if
Quartz for a neutral strip, or Cirrus for the same dated column without one.
