Markdown resume template
Write your resume in Markdown and keep it in version control like code. This template fits on one A4 or Letter page: a short profile, experience with measurable results, a skills table and education. Edit it below, then download the PDF.
Tips for a one-page resume
Lead with results
A number per bullet — time saved, money saved, users served — reads faster than a list of duties.
Keep it to one page
If it runs over, try Page setup › Narrow before cutting content.
Pick a quiet theme
Minimal or Elegant read best; Technical suits a very dense resume.
Name the file
The PDF is named after the first heading, so
# Alex Morgangivesalex-morgan.pdf.
Questions
Can applicant tracking systems read the PDF?
The PDF contains real, selectable text in reading order, which is what these systems parse.
Can I add a photo?
Yes, with an image from the web —  — or a data: URI.
Is my resume stored anywhere?
No. It stays in your browser while you edit; on download it is rendered in memory and discarded.
