Graphite template
Graphite: a minimal monochrome resume template
Black, grey and white only: experience on the left and a dark right column for skills, certifications and education.
What this layout looks like
- Layout: Dark right column · minimal.
- Sidebar on the right: 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 consultants, finance and tech roles that want a sharp monochrome look that prints well anywhere.
Sharp, technical and concise
- Group technical skills by type (languages, cloud, data) in the right column.
- Show scale: users, requests per second, budget, team size.
- Keep certifications current and dated.

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.
Does Graphite suit software engineers?
Yes. Its sample is a backend engineer; the dark column works well for a long list of tools.
Will it print in black and white?
It is already monochrome, so it prints the same in colour or greyscale.
