Graphite resume & CV template
Grey headings with the contacts gridded beside the name and four columns of skills. Made to hold a lot without looking full.

What defines this layout
- Sans-serif typeface
- Single column
- No 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 Graphite as a CV
Graphite 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.
More on the differences: CV templates and CV examples.
Is Graphite the right choice?
Who it suits
Technical and operational roles with a long tools list. Four columns of skills is the most this renderer will do, and it is the point of this template.
What it does to ATS parsing
Single column with a four-column skills block. Parsers read it as one list.
At two pages
Good. Set tight and built to hold a lot.
Use something else if
Compact for the same four columns with a blue accent, or Quarry for a two-column layout.

Live preview, AI writing help, and an ATS-ready PDF. Free to start, and no card at any point.
