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 Linen as a CV
Linen 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 loose, so a CV running to the usual two pages will fill them comfortably — tighten the spacing in Customize if you need a third page's worth on two.
More on the differences: CV templates and CV examples.
Is Linen the right choice?
Who it suits
Short histories and career changers. The space between sections is doing the work that extra content would do on a denser page.
What it does to ATS parsing
Single column, plain headings, centred name. Very safe.
At two pages
Weak — at this leading a second page is mostly white. Tighten it or pick something denser.
Use something else if
Cotton for even more room, or Aspen for a ruled version at normal density.
