**Nordic** ## Who this template is for This template is the right middle ground when you want a visibly designed resume that anyone can read, including outside your field. Product, startups, engineering, education: places that appreciate care without expecting a graphic demonstration. It is often the best choice for an application abroad, particularly in Northern Europe and the Netherlands, where restraint is the convention. It works as well for a junior profile as for a fifteen-year career. ## How the layout is built The header stacks your name, the target role and a contact line, then closes on a horizontal rule that cleanly separates identity from content. The body is in one column, with section headings in letter-spaced small caps: discreet but findable. Each experience entry aligns the role on the left and the dates on the right, a meta line gathers the company and the location, then the bullets follow. The type is DM Sans, a very open geometric sans, and the cool blue serves only the rule and the small caps. ## With or without a photo No photo, which is consistent with the markets this template targets first: in the Nordic countries as in the Netherlands or the UK, a resume with a portrait is unusual at best. For an application where a photo is expected, Modern offers a neighbouring aesthetic with a header designed for one. ## ATS readability The template is among the easiest in the catalogue to parse: one column, a decorative rule with no text, and section headings whose small caps come from the typography rather than from upper-casing the content, which preserves the original wording. The right-aligned dates come from spacing, not from a table. ## PDF and Word export The PDF keeps the fineness of the rule and the letter-spacing of the small caps, which carry the template’s whole character. In DOCX the rendering stays very close: no column and no background to rebuild, only a rule that becomes a paragraph border. With the classic and the minimalist, it is one of the three templates you can send in Word with no second thoughts. ## Closest templates If this one is not quite right, these three play in the same register.

Nothing else: the layout steps back so the content can breathe. - ![Modern](https://jobtae.com/_ipx/f_webp&q_80&s_80x113/template-previews/modern.png) ### [Modern](https://jobtae.com/resume-templates/modern) A two-column header with a photo, a midnight-blue accent and Raleway throughout. Contemporary without being loud. - ![Tech](https://jobtae.com/_ipx/f_webp&q_80&s_80x113/template-previews/tech.png) ### [Tech](https://jobtae.com/resume-templates/tech) Fira Code monospace for headings, skills as tags and a terminal green. This resume speaks the language of engineering teams. ## Ready to fill the Nordic template?
