About this template
Ember is a two-column resume built for ATS. There are no icons, rules, boxes or background fills; the only colour is the accent on the name and the section headings. The right rail carries contact details under plain labels (Address, Email, Phone) and a one-skill-per-line list, so both a person and a parser read it the same way.
The main column gives experience the space it needs: role, company and location on one line, dates beneath in muted grey, then bullets. Headings are large and regular weight, which makes the page easy to scan on a phone screen where most recruiters first open a PDF.
Ember keeps your accent colour and reads well in warm orange, teal or navy. It sets regular-weight headings and as-written heading case on pick. Move sections between the rail and the main column from the Design tab: education fits the rail for experienced candidates and the main column for graduates.
Who is this template for?
- Teachers, nurses, administrators and public-sector applicants
- Mid-career candidates with long skills lists
- Anyone who wants two columns without ATS risk
- Applicants who read their own CV mostly on mobile

Questions about this template
Two columns and ATS: is Ember really safe?+
Ember is as safe as a two-column layout gets. It uses no tables, icons or graphics, and each column is plain text in reading order. For the strictest portals, Sterling remains the single-column choice.
Can I put education in the main column?+
Yes. Open the Design tab and move Education from the rail to the main column. Graduates usually keep it in the main column above experience.
