Nordic template
Nordic: an airy resume template with a right column
Experience leads on the left in a wide column, with skills, tools and education in a calm blue column on the right and plenty of white space.
What this layout looks like
- Layout: Right column · airy blue.
- 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 designers, product people and marketers who want breathing room and a page that feels considered.
Letting the work breathe
- Keep bullets short; white space only helps if the text is tight.
- Link your portfolio or case studies in your contact details.
- Use the right column for tools you actually use day to day.

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.
Why is the column on the right?
So your experience is the first thing read, while skills stay visible beside it.
Can I add portfolio links?
Yes. Links in your contact details and entries stay clickable in the PDF.
