What defines this layout
- Sans-serif typeface
- Single column
- No photo
- Headings over a full-width 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 Girder as a CV
Girder 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 is set tight, which helps on the two-page limit most non-academic CVs are read against.

Is Girder the right choice?
Who it suits
The densest page here. For a fifteen-year history that genuinely will not cut down and still has to fit on one sheet.
What it does to ATS parsing
Single column, inline dates, three columns of skills. All conventional.
At two pages
It exists to prevent one. If you are already at two, you have room to move to something more comfortable.
Use something else if
Compact if you want a colour with it, or Bedrock for slightly more air.
