Coral template
Coral: a graduate resume template that stands out, gently
A coral banner with your name and contact details, skills as tags and two columns that keep education, projects and internships together.
What this layout looks like
- Layout: Coral banner · tags.
- Banner header: people see it as designed, but some applicant tracking systems read columns out of order, so the app labels it “Design · limited ATS”.
- Part of Premium.
- Download as PDF or Word, free on every plan.
- No photo slot, which suits most US and UK applications.
Who it is for
For graduates and creative juniors who want a page with some personality without looking unprofessional.
A first resume with personality
- Lead with your degree and the projects that match the role.
- Count societies, volunteering and part-time work as experience.
- Keep the skill tags to tools and methods, not adjectives.

Questions about this template
Is a two-column resume bad for applicant tracking systems?
Some tracking systems read columns out of order, which is why the app labels this layout “Design · limited ATS”. For a resume a person reads first (a referral, an email, a printout) it is fine; for online applications, switch to a one-column template. Your content stays the same.
Is there a free graduate template?
Graduate is a one-column graduate template; which templates are free is shown on the pricing page.
Can I add a portfolio link?
Yes. Add it to your contact details; links stay clickable in the PDF.
