Folio Resume Template — Free, ATS-Friendly

Professional

Folio resume template filled in with a sample resume

Folio sets your resume like a page from a well-made book. Your name sits in small capitals above an italic headline, section headings are set in sepia italics with no rules or boxes, and the body is Georgia throughout. Down the right-hand margin runs a column of quiet notes, each level with what it annotates: your contact details beside your name, your skills and links beside your profile, each role’s dates beside its title and its location beside its first bullet, and each project’s web address beside its name.

Folio suits writers and editors, lawyers and paralegals, policy analysts, researchers and academics, consultants, and nonprofit professionals who want a refined, literary page rather than a centered traditional one. Project and achievement titles open in small spaced capitals, bullets are marked in soft grey, and generous whitespace keeps a substantial career calm and easy to read.

Every word on the page is real, selectable text under standard section headings, and each role’s dates follow its title in reading order, so applicant tracking systems can read it. Note that some older ATS software reads two-column layouts less reliably than a single column. Download your Folio resume as a PDF or Word document (.docx) — free, no watermark.
