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 Strand as a CV
Strand works as a British or Australian CV as it stands, where CV and resume name the same two-page document. The second column is the thing to check before sending: copy the text out of the exported PDF and confirm it reads in a sensible order.
It sits at a normal density, which lands most histories on the two pages a non-academic CV is expected to fit.
More on the differences: CV templates and CV examples.
Is Strand the right choice?
Who it suits
People who want a second column and nothing else. A tracked, centred name over a hairline split is close to the minimum a two-column page can be.
What it does to ATS parsing
Two columns, ruled. Straightforward otherwise.
At two pages
Adequate. Plain headings give a second page less to hold onto.
Use something else if
Plumbline for the same shape with a rule under the header, or Sterling for a tighter version.
